Interstellar social simulation framework and game development in Kotlin
summary
A framework called Relativitization models interstellar agent-based systems with explicit time dilation and finite-light-speed communication, claims automatic handling of relativistic timing, and builds a turn-based strategy game that actually runs. Implementation uses kotlinx-coroutine for parallelism, kotlinx-serialization/dataframe/ktor for IO and analysis, and libGDX for GUI. Pain points include huge temporal state histories, tricky deterministic parallel RNG, and a serialization workflow that currently forces sealed-class templates rather than simple library import. Visualization still leans on Python.
