Development
Stellar Trader was developed using MS VC++ 9.0 and Visual Studio 2008.
The idea came from the game Space Trader.

I also developed the cyberspace-hacking game Decker.

Contact
The game was developed by me, Shawn Overcash. If you wish to contact me, you can do so through my sourceforge account at https://sourceforge.net/users/fsovercash/.
(I don't put my e-mail address on here because of spammers - who, by the way, should be shot in the kneecaps.)
You can also contact me at dsi [at] caro.net. I get tons of spam there, so there's a chance that I might miss your e-mail.
Put Stellar Trader as the subject and I will be more likely to see it.
