Oo this looks really cool! I'm bookmarking this for the future. I don't know that I'll have time to do anything with it any time soon, but looks really interesting.
I wish there were more "play games while programming" projects. Only thing is that they all seem to be too low level, whereas I want to be able to write logic like:
"when you have < 100 wood, stop creating carved objects and increase the amount of wood gathering."
instead of having to program my own pathfinding logic or whatever.
I highly recommend Bit Burner (https://danielyxie.github.io/bitburner/). It's an idle/incremental game with a focus on automating things with javascript. Heck of a lot of fun, imo.
I mean, i baiscally want to play like Age of Empires II but script logic for units as well.
edit: I should also add that it maybe depends what you're taklintg about; one thing i'd like to do is be able to play an actual normal game, but offload some of the menial tasks to scirpts. so some manual control, but I can write logic to make it less tedious.
