Derelict Ship Generator

This is a digital version of the Derelict Ship Generator from the Dead Planet supplement for the Mothership TTRPG system. It implements the rolltables and other quality of life things.

Reflection

This tool is more of an experiment for me. I really wanted to experiment with isometric perspectives and drag and drop interfaces. In that sense I think this project went pretty well. I've also really worked on the UI again to make it feel really nice. However, tooltips really messed me up. I really wanted to make the roll table results to show up for the dice in a tooltip, and I feel like it should be working. However I dont know why it isnt. I do have tooltips on the buttons tho, and the formatting could be better. I feel like that is something to learn from going forwards.

There are a lot of things I wanted to expand on for this, and I might do in the future. Apart from bugfixing displaying the rolltables, I wanted to add multiple layers to the tool, allowing to make ships with multiple floors. The tool has been built from the ground up with this in mind, and it would be neat to implement. I also want to make a top-down mode so that you could export your designs as images in a usable form. Third, I want to add a way of editing the roll tables, possibly allowing this project to be able to generate general purpose dungeons, instead of just derelict ships.

I think overall I am happy with this and I am really proud of the level of polish I have on it. However, due to mental health issues and external factors, I am also happy to see the back of this project (like all the others it seems).
