    This is wonderful. Consider decoupling the core from Emacs, or packaging in a way that doesn’t require it as heavily.

    I’ve been doing my own exploration of terminal ASCII games via Dwarf Fortress instead of SimCity. I’ve learned that letting a coding agent play is an interesting way to get feedback as well :)

    This is great! We need more ASCII games/simulations and it's only a bonus if it's in Emacs :-)

    You should have a screenshot.

      There is a screenshot in the README, and according to the github timestamp, the project hasn't been changed since you write this to add such a screen shot.

      Search for the section labeled: Visual Demo
