Feature request: add sectors numbers to ordinary messages, and bigger separators

[febs]

The bot only mentions the Sectors Wilaya and number only when applying the "show all" command, or at least that was the only case where I have seen those used.

Normally the sectors are only referred to with their name.
I think that it would be very helpful to be able to also see their Sector "code" alonsgide with their name, maybe even with a colored text.
This could be optional eventually.

That's my suggestion and feature request.
Secondarily, I would think that adding more newlines or extra --------------------------------- could help readability. Especially when the bot does loads of stuff, I find it easy to miss something along the way.

Thank you for the bot nevertheless,

I'll look into displaying the sector id's along with the name in the log output.

I have resisted adding colored text, because the Windows command shell does not support ANSI escape codes for color.
As far as I know there is no other way to support color on Windows. I do not have a computer running Windows so it is not something that I can easily test.

I have thought about adding a "Press return to continue" prompt at certain points during the output of the Bot's turn so that you do not miss what is going on. I did this with the "Fire in the Lake" program and I think it works well.

Thanks for the suggestions.

A prompt after each step would also work very well.

Thank you,

I just released version 2.12. It has the improvements that you requested. Let me know what you think.

It is SO much better now! Thank you very much.

I forked your project to fiddle with this and I got a result I'm pretty happy with, despite being very rough. It is working on Windows, maybe this might be of interest for you.

Here's how it looks:

So the windows console does support color! I didn't know.

[febs]

Well admittedly that window is the VS code terminal. I am unable to build on Windows so I am running the bot with "sbt run".

I confirm it is also working in the ordinary dull windows terminal:

I added changes similar to what you did to support color.
The colors are also saved in the save files so that you get color when using the history command.

This is amazing! Thank you!
