Since I started playing the game РІР‚вЂњ exactly 11 months ago as of today РІР‚вЂњ IРІР‚в„ўve created a Screeps AI,Р’В with some ~50,000 additions to the GitHub repository, which I dubbed OvermindР’В (much of the code is vaguely Starcraft-themed). The units run in real-time even when you arenРІР‚в„ўt actively playing the game, and the game progresses on the scale of weeks or months, so the more you can automate, the better. However, unlike most RTS games, you cannot actively control your units you must instead write code to govern their behavior using JavaScript (or a transpiled language). Like most RTS games, the core objective of Screeps is to expand your territory and defend against other players. (If you didnРІР‚в„ўt know me in early 2017, itРІР‚в„ўs probably because I was hiding in my room programming.) You can use your private server to develop and test with fast pace (up to 10 game ticks per second).If you knew me in early 2017, you probably knew I became entirely too invested writing an AI for the programming strategy game Screeps.

The game is slow-paced (from 2 seconds to 5 seconds per game tick depending on a world shard where you start playing), since it allows you to debug your scripts in the real-time world.

Host your own server, modify games rules and play with your friends via LAN or on the Internet.

The subscription cost is the same for all players, there is no way to pay more to gain more advantages.

Unlock your full CPU in your account on the official server by purchasing a CPU subscription plan or via in-game items called Subscription Tokens (can be bought by in-game credits).Edit your scripts from the in-game editor, or using your favorite external IDE.

However, if you are a pro developer, now is the chance to put your skills to the limit!

Only basic programming skills are required.

Your creeps will mine, build, defend, and conquer as you just work, sleep, or walk your dog.

The better your scripts, the better your game - irrespective of the time played.

Many kinds of units, base building, mining resources, territory control, economy, manufacturing, transporting, logistics, trading РІР‚вЂњ all the attributes of a real strategy game which you need to program!.

Units of all players coexist in the same real-time huge persistent world and obey the same rules.

You play by writing JavaScript AI which controls your units 24/7 even while you're offline.

It is quite enough just to check once in a while to see if everything goes well. And, unlike other MMO, you do not have to play Screeps constantly to play well. Unlike some other RTS games, your units in Screeps can react to events without your participation РІР‚вЂњ provided that you have programmed them properly. Screeps is developed for people with programming skills. However, it requires a lot of effort on your part, since multiple players may aim at the same territory. As you conquer more territory, your influence in the game world grows, as well as your abilities to expand your footprint. Your colony can harvest resources, build units, conquer territory, trade with another colonies.

With all the attributes of a full-fledged strategy game, you control your colony by writing real JavaScript which operate 24/7 in the single persistent world filled by other players on par with you. It is an open source MMO RTS sandbox game for programmers, wherein the core mechanic is programming your units AI.
