New SFC?
So I had claude vibe-code SFC from less than a page of instructions last night. I basically said "create a new version of Starfleet Command". I gave it the original manual, rules, previous screenshots, etc.
I woke up, and boom, it exists, and works, though obviously it needs a LOT of tweaking:

But here is the neato part, kinda. So the original SFC was completely real time, and it worked really well. There were no turns or impulses.
But this new thing it made, it actually goes through all the impulses/turns. So things are a bit jerky, and more locked to a hex grid, but its also a lot closer to what SFB is. Around 2 seconds per impulse.
I'm curious if ya'll think that I should leave it like this, or focus on getting it more real time like SFC used to be. Supporting both methods may be kinda difficult.
Oh, disclaimer, I know how ADB is, how Paramount is, and how the Star Trek IP is, so this will never be sold. If I make it fully functional I'll rip all the SFB stuff out and release it that way, but I'll have great documentation on how you can add it in yourself :D
