The main oolite repository is [1] and the repository for the launcher is [2]. Everything, including art assets and configuration files, is under the GNU GPL 2-or-later [3].

Webpage design and visuals remind me immediately of Parsec game from late 90&#x27;s → <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;web.archive.org&#x2F;web&#x2F;20210629164711&#x2F;http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.openparsec.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;web.archive.org&#x2F;web&#x2F;20210629164711&#x2F;http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.openpa...</a>

Interesting, but I could only find the information I was looking for on the wikipedia page for the game: it&#x27;s a single-person game, not a multi-player game (like Elite Dangerous).<p>Btw, an Oolite is a kind of sediment composed of egg-like stones:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Oolite" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Oolite</a><p>Like a coprolite, but with eggs instead of ... ugh... you know.

It doesn&#x27;t mention anything on the main github page, but this can be installed with:<p>brew install oolite

Reposting an old comment[1] which may be of interest to Oolite players:<p>&gt; Elite: &quot;The game that couldn&#x27;t be written&quot;<p>&gt; An hour long video essay about the classic game Elite, the BBC Micro, and how Elite was able to deliver an open-world 3D experience in the 1980s.
