I'm looking to create some kind of simulation like game similar to rimworld and dwarf fortress. I would also like to include a way to control units through programming, similar to screeps, I'm even thinking of using JavaScript as well. I would like the graphics to be separate from the actual game, so that people can make their own if they don't like the default on (the game will be open source). Are there any languages or engines that would be good for this task? I mostly program in functional languages like racket, but I know some python, Java, and JavaScript. I know how to use unity somewhat, but I'm not sure that it would be best for this. Also, I'm not sure if this is important for picking out the right tools, but I am thinking of including a feature to run parts of the simulation at different levels of detail, for example, you could "zoom in" on a battle that's happening and see each individual shot, or you could just get the main idea of the battle, like if you won and how much gold you got or something like that. Thanks for any suggestions.
