Stand by for #Homeworld Classic test run...
OpenGL enabled... Adjust to highest possible resolution.
Pixelation within acceptable parameters...
All gameplay tests green.
We're clear to go.

HOLY MOTHER OF GOD.

Who would've thought that wanting to play #Homeworld1 Classic would be such a literal odyssey in space... (Courtesy of Gearbox who, if they already have to remaster HW1 in a wholly different engine, can't even sell a playable version of the classic game... 🙄)

Anyway, after much trial and error and some help from my friend @sebulon (shout-out to you 😉), I can FINALLY enjoy my beautiful retro starships in their full glory.
And thus, the REAL journey to the homeworld begins... 😌
(Was about to say "keelah se'lai" at the end until I remembered "oops, wrong game" - or is it?...)

The main menu of Homeworld 1 Classic. It has a sci-fi-ish look to it, with blue buttons in a black window. At the top is the game's title: "Homeworld".

Well, I upgraded some stuff in the RTS I'm rewriting from scratch. Buildings now change to red if you can't place them where you are hovering, and that prevents them from being clickable, so they won't be placed unless green. These colors are only for players placing buildings. AI uses environmental queries. And I am using overlaps to determine if a building can be placed somewhere. The ground is essentially flat in this one. I needn't worry about ground interaction. I set a timer, so if you click on a build window, the window closes after 10 seconds. I may get rid of that. Instead, it should probably just close if you left-click away from it. Maybe both?

I can now generate a pretty dense forest of whatever I want. Right now it's 2000 resources for all players (up to 7). That could be adjusted, so I need to add it to a menu. If a PC is slow, generating anything much larger might take some time. A few hundred would make for a more interactive experience when NPCs show up looking for gold or whatever.

Whee.
