This library aims to provide parsers for common Introversion file formats. It is currently focused on the early access game [The Last Starship](https://steamcommunity.com/app/1857080), but will hopefully include other parsers in the future.

This library is developed by the community. We are not affiliated with Introversion Software.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Use the package manager [composer](https://getcomposer.org/download/) to install IVParsers.

```
composer require totengeist/iv-parsers
```

Usage

$ship->setName('Crusher');
$ship->setAuthor('Totengeist');
file_put_contents('Crusher.ship', $ship->toString());
```

```
$save = SaveFile(file_get_contents('Fun Time.space'));
