fix(cli): make --skipMenu actually start a game - #1129
Merged
Conversation
Before, --skipMenu only hid the main menu but never emitted signalNewGame, so the game window showed just the UI bar over an empty screen with no map. Now it starts a new game with generated terrain directly.

Hi! 👋
While evaluating a potential revival of Cytopia (we've set up a fork at Danux-Be/Cytopia with a green CI), we noticed this small bug along the way.
Problem
--skipMenuonly hides the main menu but never emitssignalNewGame, so the game shows just the UI bar over an empty screen — no map is ever created.Fix
Start a new game with generated terrain when
--skipMenuis passed. As a bonus, this makes the flag usable as an automated smoke test (game boots directly into a generated map).Testing
--skipMenuENABLE_DEBUG=ON)Thanks for all the work on this project! We'd love to help bring it back to life — happy to split or rework this contribution however you prefer.
