Interstellar Social Simulation with Kotlin
summary
A playable interstellar social simulation and a reusable framework exist that model special relativity time delays (examples include multi-turn signal latency such as a 10‑turn wait), implement economy politics and tech systems, and run on Kotlin with an Android/multiplatform focus. Visualization currently falls back to Python for network plots, the codebase is open source on GitHub, and the project proves the concept: the framework and game run and expose where Kotlin’s ecosystem still needs libraries and notebook tooling.
