One of the first programs that I typed into my old computer, way back in the Dark Ages (pre-internet), but not the only time... I cannot recall how many times I entered that program over the past 4+ decades... Old but still a classic. Looking forward to your version... Suggestion: Seeing the game is pure text, you may wish to present it as intended, white text on black... or perhaps a "dash of colour"? Perhaps an option on startup?

Live long and prosper.

Edit : I tried to learn Klingon language, but I gave up 
          too much puzzlement

For example, I used https://www.bing.com/translator/ 
English to Klingon (Latin ) .... thank you = nuqneH
Klingon (Latin) to English  .... nuqneH = what do you want

Conclusion : It's better to continue programming the Star Trek than to learn Klingon 

[johnno56]

I have had the same problem with different on-line applications. As you have correctly shown, translating in both directions, produces different results.

I found a Klingon Dictionary... warning: not the best if you want to translate sentences etc... As it is only a dictionary. The dictionary will also explain how to pronounce words in Klingon. Learning Klingon, using a dictionary, is a VERY steep learning curve and will take a GREAT deal of practice and patience...

Code:

'===============================================================================
'STAR TREK N7
'    Inspired by the 1970s Star Trek (BASIC) by Mike Mayfield and Bob Leedom.
'    Star Trek N7 is a simplified and modified version.
'    It's not intended as a conversion from the original version, but rather
'    it's just a proof of concept of text-based adventure game.
'
'    Tips to play STAR TREK N7 :
'    1. Learn the coordinate system in this game.
'       You have to know where your starship on the coordinate system.
'    2. Write down on a piece of paper some Klingon phrases,
'       it helps you to communicate with Klingon.
'    3. Find starbase to increase your energy and improve starship's condition
'    4. Use warp speed and phaser wisely, they consume a lot of energy
'    5. Watch carefully your dashboard : stardate, condition, phaser and energy

Apart from point #2, everything else sounds somewhat familiar... This is going to be fun!

Good News, Star Trek N7 is going to be released Next Week 

I need to know your secret. How can you possibly know that the program will be ready within a week? Let me guess... You have a team of junior programmers on hand... You have a Crystal Ball... You are a Time Traveler... Oh no! You are highly motivated and extremely organized! There are days that I have difficulty in choosing what to have for breakfast... "released next week"? I am not a Star Wars fan but... I am reminded of a quote by Darth Vader (The Empire Strikes Back (1980)) "Impressive. Most impressive. Obi-wan has taught you well..."

I need to know your secret. How can you possibly know that the program will be ready within a week? ...

How if I say, Star Trek N7 is going to be relased between 30 July - 3 Aug 2024 ? 

Just another spoiler, there are two battle arena designs :
                 
1. Text-mode                2. Arcade (shooting, move U with key UP/DOWN)
