title: File formats for Stars! by Mare Crisium
body: <p>There is an old strategy came called Stars! by Mare Crisium.</p>
  
  <p>I would like to write some AI to play this game, but I don't get much fun out of trying to decipher file formats.</p>
  
  <p>Does anyone know the format of the X and H files that are used for turns?  Or at the very least have some guidance on how they would start trying to decipher them?    I am currently using GIT to save history then watching what changes after different actions, but it is very slow going.</p>

  <p>There are some links in there to download the game, make donations, or find keys to play.</p>
