Step by step instructions on how to compile are here
http://prospector.freeforums.org/compile-prospector-in-linux-t265.html
It is though entirely possible that the current uploaded code has bugs/debugging flags on

Thanks.

It seems that the current code has some bugs preventing it to compile for me.

I made a package for Archlinux from the prebuilt linux version. Its available in the AUR, in case someone is interested.

   A little late getting this here but Prospector made 19th place with 49 votes in the Ascii Dreams Roguelike of the year pole. Now I did not figure the placing myself but instead got it from Here at the Roguelike Temple and if you want the full listing its Here at Ascii Dreams itself.
   Also I may be doing a video lets play of Prospector soon if I manage to fit into my tight schedule of faffing about and procrastinating. I probably would have started recording tonight but sadly I have to get up in like 2 and a half hours so yeah. If anyone wants me to try something specific I would be willing to work it in after my inevitable death with a fairly vanilla start.

Great to see Prospector reaching that top, it was one of my votes for this year poll.
Congratulations, as it totally deserved the recognition.

Magellan, it's the new year! Take your time but do not forget about us :3.

I have the first of what will hopefully be many video lets plays of Prospector up. The first couple will be a little longer then I prefer chocking in at around 20 minutes and in the second one I manage to crash the game for no visible reason and no I don't have a save or what have you for it though I wish I did. I know for certain that I have two more videos which like I did with my OpenTTD lets plays will be uploaded once a day and because of the ease of which it is to make them I will probably have a number of them to come.

The video is here.

Edit: the second video is up here.

Edit: and the third is up here

Still here guys...
I am fairly certain I will be able to release a new and improved version this weekend.
The main improvement will be that you will be able to join space battles NPCs are fighting (As in ancient alien ship vs space station)

[Akhier the Dragon hearted]

Sweet! Now if only I could get to a point where I can actually competently fight space battles in the first place...

Anyway Forth video is up in which I increase quality so you may watch me forget what I am doing and stammer around till I die in full HD

Edit: Fifth is up in which I ask the viewers what I should do. If you want to have me try to do something just comment on the video what.

[BigD145]

I'm curious (and too tired to be bothered to look) is there a mac version?
or is it platform independent?

Sixth video up in which I pick up a rockin ride

Edit: Seventh video: warning major facepalm contained within

[ductape]

When does the iOS version come out?

[Akhier the Dragon hearted]

I hope no one minds me posting here whenever I put up a new video.

oh and video eight is up.

Edit: Number nine is up

[Deon]

You make a good advertisement for a game, I am sure everyone is overjoyed that you post those videos . I personally watch them as soon as I can.
Magellan, if you need more tiles for the new version, contact me any time. I felt that I could rework my old tiles as well because I am not happy with some of them.

Just uploaded version 0.2.4
http://code.google.com/p/rlprospector/downloads/list

These are the main things that happened:
17. Jan 2012 - New version 0.2.4 released

    You can now join in NPCs space battles
    It's harder to make other ships follow you in spacebattles
    New System type: Rogue gas giant
    New Item: Hydrogen scoop (Improves gas giant scooping and collects fuel when in gas clouds)
    Further stacking the deck: very dangerous planets are now always in gasclouds
    Spaceships now have speed differences
    Tiles out of sight are now darkend
    Savegames and Highscore entries now have dates
    New command \Cs shows the current standing with the factions
    You can change the spacemap size in config
    Fixed a bug that overwrote current science officer with Tree
    Fixed a bug that allowed you to recruit more than your ship could carry
    Autoexplore now can go around planets

Deon: If you want to rework the tiles, sure, go ahead. You might want to know that you now can use true colors. (Don't hit me!)

[Deon]

Further stacking the deck: very dangerous planets are now always in gasclouds

Aww, so much for random dieing .

Tiles out of sight are now darkend

Awesome! Randomly appearing enemies were really a weird vision. Now we can understand what we can see!

You can change the spacemap size in config

Woot! Go go go large space!

Anyway, thank you very much for the new version! Do you plan to add new alien types or special creatures?

[magellan]

Oh: to clarify the "stacking the deck" comment. It's only the really, really dangerous places.

 the ones that don't let you start again

Lot's of ways to randomly die left, even 2 new ones!

I drew all the new tiles myself. If you look at the graphics folder I am sure you will be able to find out which ones they are
