Build a dungeon game where everyone takes turns and fast creatures act more often

A turn-based dungeon crawl waits for the player, then lets every creature act. Giving some creatures more actions than others fairly is where the fuss starts. Here is a scheduler that handles speed, bumping into things to fight, and death, all in a few lines.

Why this works

A fast creature simply earns its turns sooner, so no exceptions are needed. One shared counter that every creature fills at its own speed gives each the right share of the time, and keeping the surplus keeps it exact.

When not to use it

Skip it when everything should move at once in real time, or when all sides take strict turns in a fixed order, such as a board game. There the speed counter adds a complexity nobody sees.
