SANSOFT built Coreward as a true-scale space simulator that runs in the browser. The site describes it as free, and the listing mentions an exploration mode and a survival mode. The directory lists it as built with AI, and the page does not name the tools.

The site's central claim is that every star sits where it really is, so you can fly to Mars, to Proxima Centauri or to the black hole at the centre of the galaxy at true distances. It cites 107,847 stars from the HYG database, 6,306 exoplanets from the NASA Exoplanet Archive, 8 planets, 27 moons and 12 dwarf planets on real orbits from NASA/JPL, plus 21 nebulae, 4 pulsars and 3 black holes, all reachable. Star colour comes from the measured B-V index, turned into a temperature and then a black-body colour.

The page admits two concessions: an FTL jump drive, since Proxima Centauri would otherwise be a four-year trip, and time compression. The interface shows a hangar, orbit and landing views, a radar, laser, missile, scan and jump controls, and a rover you can call. A trade terminal at the ISF Station buys what you mined and sells what you need, with prices per tonne and a quarter taken by the station on its sales.
