However, I can certainly help you get started with a basic structure. Here's a
simple outline to illustrate how you might begin coding such a game:

ts up a universe of planets with random attributes and allows the player to trav
el between them. The trading mechanics would need to be implemented, along with
many other features to create a full game experience. Remember, this is just a b
asic framework and a lot more work would be needed to develop a complete game. I
f you're interested in the original source code of TradeWars, it seems there's a
Pascal version available.

Why not t3x/0? It's similar to Pascal and it will run under DOS, CP/M and Unix.
