    If you want to do something similar, I have a huge list of video game ideas you can pull from [1].

    Related: If anyone is interested, I've been working on an ECS based mini-game framework in Rust [0] that runs with this idea. It has a 1200 hz simulation clock, 60 hz rendering clock, and 150 hz physics integrator (Euler). I've also posted some example mini-games that use it [1].
