Motivation, Technical Details, and Future Plans
Where does the name "Starcel" come from?
- In software, the * character is used as a wildcard which could represent literally anything.
One of the goals of Starcel is to allow you to run any conceivable command and represent
any format of data.
- If you leave the axiomatically set area you will see your space and actions from a third person view—a
single star suspended in the void.
- Starcel runs inside the cells of a spreadsheet.
- "cel" relates to our acceleration algorithm.
- One of the algorithms we designed allows the spawning of basis within a spatial dimension. These basis
look like stars.
- You, the user, are a Star! *

A quick note on this release: To submit a cell you will have to type ctrl+NUM*. This is because unreal engine did not allow capturing of ctrl+enter. It also has an engine bug where I would need to restart the entire project in order to fix the extra click needed to select and move objects. Currently, objects spawned will match your character rotation and scaling; this makes for spammy looking scenes, so we will eventually add autosnapping and alignment tools. AR and XR support coming soon. I am told there is a Fatal Error when trying to start the program on some systems, this issue will not be in the next release; Starcel is switching code platforms entirely. Unfortunately, it will be a while before you see an update. Enjoy!
For $500 you can download the source files of Starcel for use in whatever project you like. The source files include everything you need to start your own Starcel Unreal Engine project including a portable python instance, tested working ue5.1 unreal engine plugins, and many cli tools.
