Game Loop Screen
The Game loop screen is the first thing that you will see when you start a new game or end the turn of a regime that you are playing. The Game loop executes a number of steps and at the end of executing all steps for a non-sleeping regime not played by the AI the player can start playing his turn in the Main Screen
