But I guess if I was conversant in PhP might not have been such a bad idea! ^^

So you're fiddling around with tabular multidimensional data.
But you "don't want no database and sh*t".
That's exactly where I would start.

well... what's the point of making a single page static web page, and then require a database!
I am making a "database of sort" a C# file with all the techs.. turns out I might do desktop app after all (for designing galaxy map, half way there) can as well include the spaceship, me think...

Depends on the amount of data of course, I was under the impression that you wanted to design more than one spaceship, but now I see it's singular.

yea, the space ship are design and forget.. (or, ideally, print on paper or word document)
they can also be done in just a few click... but calculating the current payload and whether or not one can have a 6th device, is the tricky bit (up top 7 devices and 7 weapons)
|
|
|
|
|
Are the devices and weapons and all other dimensions predefined?
Then a database might make sense after all.

yes, they are all predefined. there is hardly any room to customize it any more, and certainly not on the fly.
Although one can argue.. it only goes to tech level 21! what happen to tech level 22 civilizations and above?! Are they doomed to transcend to another trans dimensional parallel universe and never be seen again?!
One can only guess at this stage....

They invent time travel, but miscalculate and transcend to another universe, and have to start over from the beginning.

A great mystery solved!
My pet theory was indeed that the Orions traveled to the astral plane and became the gods of the other fantasy world I adventure into!

I strongly suggest that you do not look for answers here as much as in the plethora of game dev forums on the internet, i.e. Reddit Game dev and indie game dev, and other game dev forums. I currently subscribe to most of the Reddit game dev forums, and they are extremely informative and helpful.
these are game devs, and they can better answer your questions, IMHO.
Cheers.
Here is one for starters: gamedev[^]

mm.. it's not a game programming question...
it's about the best and easiest supporting app for a game which is very much like a board game without board, but with dice, players and imagination....
but require a tiny bit of preparation with a pen and paper, or maybe a word document...

Check out my SPA (to see if I know what I'm talking about): Core Competencies[^] *
*With any "modern" browser. I do not support IE and older browsers.
It allows you to track Business-related Core Competencies (with personal notes) and does not require you to sign in or anything. Just try it out on your phone or computer and it runs exactly the same.
Here's my input:
If you have only a few values to store then use localStorage[^] (client side). it's extremely easy and allows you to save up to MBs of data. Probably enough for you.
If you have more data to store then store it using IndexedDB[^] (client side again), but allows you to do SQL type queries on data. But also more complicated API.
If you have more data than that and you need it to be updated in realtime then use Firebase.com because it is simple. But simple means a lot of up-front learning.
For what you're doing localStorage will probably serve you just fine.

cool SPA!
I got 0 data to save... it's design (a spaceship) and forget!
I got 210 and tech that I have to hard code the data for though... :/ (doing it right now in C#...)
what did you use for it?
I don't want to write a metric ton of js
I guess TypeScript would be alright...
Might go for desktop app.. since I realize I am already having one (to do the maps..)
(I forgot about it since.. I gave up.. and then thought of restarting it with less feature and then.. got delayed a bit by the word document and forgot about it)

Thanks very much, I appreciate that.

I used Bootstrap UI[^] (buttons, etc). They create a nice uniform styling that creates consistency.
If a person takes some time to learn Bootstrap it can become similar to what Microsoft did for us in the past where they created the controls and you just simply / blindly accept those controls. It's a nice way to just forget about making buttons and drop lists etc look right.
I did write this in JS but that's because it didn't take a huge ton of JS. I like JS ok since I've worked with it for a long time. I would much prefer c# (because it is the best language ever created). I will examine blazor at some point.

Ha yeah, Bootstrap!
I was good with it once.... Kinda Rusty now... but thanks for the reminder!
I was doing Bootstrap and TypeScript back then! (then was 2013! )
mmm... going to do my Excel to C# port first of the tech lists...
And wondering now if I should C# to TypeScript it (admitedly easier, might even use C# 9 source code generator perhaps?) and Bootstrap it... mmm....

My apologies. I completely misunderstood your OP.

No worries at all!

Of course, I was busy with something else and almost forgot, thanks Griff for reminding me.
