Man this sounds awesome! Sadly it would be a ton of work to do right for a small audience that would appreciate it or you would have to bastardize the concept so much for the masses that it would end up little more than a ‘cockpit with tons of shiny buttons’ like you get in most flying games.

Reminds me of Bussard (https://technomancy.itch.io/bussard), a "space flight programming adventure game" written in Clojure.

It’s written in Lua.

Mind if I steal this idea? I've been meaning to learn some elisp for a while and games revolving around fictional computer interfaces appeal to me.

Don't mind at all!

Do share, should you end up with something others can enjoy.

I've had the same idea for a few weeks now. I'm surprised I'm not the only one.
