Generate planets and galaxies following the Acornsoft Elite planet generation algorithm.
require 'elite_universe/planet'
planet = EliteUniverse::Planet.new(44344, 5276, 5405)
planet.name # = Laverequire 'elite_universe/galaxy'
galaxy = EliteUniverse::Galaxy.new(23114, 584, 46931)
galaxy[129].name # = ZaonceEliteUniverse::Galaxy is an Enumerable class and so, for example, a full list
of planet names in the galaxy can be generated with:
galaxy.map(&:name)galaxy.planets will return an array of all instances of
EliteUniverse::Planet in an EliteUniverse::Galaxy. This is deprecated.
Instead of galaxy.planets[i] use galaxy[i].
