Re: galaxy size

greetings,

There is a problem with the galaxy creation formula. The Palm OS version has
fewer planets than the MacOS version. What was happening was that the
original Mac code was making the determination that the galaxy should be
size X and we would check to see if that was larger than our max area and if
so, decrease that to our max size. It appears that about 50% of the slider
would represent a galaxy larger than what we could create. The result was
that you would mostly get a large galaxy.

We have changed the formula for the Palm version so that the slider bar will
directly affect the number of planets in a galaxy (from the min on the left
to the max on the right).

This fix will be available in 1.0.5

thanks,
steve
