A next-generation AI for Screeps

Thoughtwave

A next-generation AI for Screeps

NPM packages

• Grunt + grunt-screeps - for deployment
• dotenv - for isolating login values from GH
• typescript
• husky + prettier - uniform formatting

Installation

• Install Grunt: npm install -g grunt-cli
• Input Data from Screeps Account into "example.env" and rename it to ".env"
• Run in Project: npm install
• Upload to Screeps: grunt screeps

Source Tree Layout

• Interfaces: All Typescript interfaces/types/enums (these will not be pushed up to the screeps server)
• Protypes: Any Screeps Prototype functions (to import these add the necessary require Step to the "requirePrototypes.ts" File)
• Modules: General logic modules such as spawning/room/empire
• Commands: Methods that are not used in the game loop. Only used directly in the console. Example: "require('roads').clearRoadConstructions(Game.spawns.Spawn1.room)"

Roles

These are the different roles for our creeps:

Role	Purpose
UPGRADER	Exclusively upgrades the room controller.
MINER	Stands at sources and harvests energy at 100% efficiency.
DISTRIBUTOR	Distributes energy from storage to structures in need. Acts as a transporter if no distribution work needs done.
TRANSPORTER	Gathers resources from containers or tombstones and moves them to storage.
MINER	Stands at sources and harvests energy at 100% efficiency.
CLAIMER	Place a flag anywhere in the room you want to claim, then a Creep will automatically spawn and claim the controller in that if possible.
COLONIZER	Goes to the newly claimed room and builds the spawner. There should always be 2 colonizers until the spawner has been build. Then the flag will get removed and normal room operation will start.

Priority Queue

To override default creep behavior you can use the Priority Queue implemented in the WaveCreep class. To pass an action to the priority queue the following code snippet can be used as a template:

creep.addTaskToPriorityQueue(Priority.LOW, () => {
        creep.travelTo(Game.spawns.Spawn1);
});
