  @tehfiend ah yes, I was refering to Room.lookForAtArea (suggested that because you mentioned range of 3). agree with all your thoughts. [EDIT] ah, now I got what you mean by "travel distance 3", not roads in range of 3 from start pos but path to a road which ends at the range of 3 from closest

  @systemparadox The implication may be quite practical. For example I once found the blog post about pathfinding in the Factorio devs blog, they split the world onto square chunks (which we have out of the box), do reverse pathfinding over chunks, like Game.map.findRoute but keeping the closed set, and then use standard A* (not even JPS!) with a custom heuristic function to use the saved closed set of chunks search as a guide.

  This is an older project that would send SMS and Slack notifications from inside the game. It relies on an external service though. https://github.com/screepers/screeps_notify

  @sneaky_polar_bear its basically a dice roll if my emergency heal hits the right target or else i lose a creep. Well, you could go with a bigger creep.party, if you loose a creep, there's another to back it up. But as to the actual property request, I like it. Had the same thought||idea myself, the Doc has some other objects aswell which could have more describing properties. Firstly I would've thought PowerCreep, but game flow is based on ticks(a property showing exact time left). Since this thread, quote myself: @detox said in Game.market updates please: Also I think the 100 transaction limit for Game.market.incomingTransactions/Game.market.outgoingTransactions is too short, would be great to get full or at least way more history. Recently thought the Game.market transaction objects should exclude self-sent transactions (from an own room to an own room), or have another object(s) containing only transactions made to other players. At the moment I think Screeps is too SvS oriented. Nice thread.

  Maybe they might change their mind about it? Or is it final? If it is, then why?

  Allow access to Node's TextDecoder

  As I understand it, Node's Buffer is dangerous to expose from a security perspective. This is because it allows you to allocate and access uninitialised memory... though perhaps in the context of IVM this is cleared? Anyway, at the very least it's a bunch of pointer leaks they probably don't want. Back to your original idea, providing TextEncoder and TextDecoder would be really useful not just for Rust users, but for anyone wanting to do custom memory or WASM modules. I'm in the JS crowd, but would love to have a proper way to store an ArrayBuffer in RawMemory or segments without an incredibly slow polyfill. JavaScript strings are just awful to deal with.

  yeah, agree with @Tigga , looking at github/engine code makes me believe, that the same mechanism may be in use at MMO server side and addressing the issue may give a boost to overall performance of all the shards.

  I was wondering where the color came from, it just arbitrarily chooses one of the badge colors? Yeah, that doesn't work. There are ONLY A FEW COLORS to even display. Your units, enemy units, screeps units, roads, structures, etc. Don't be lazy with the UI! Store them as 32 bit color values the user can set. Then, everyone is happy! Even that one guy with teal-chartreuse colorblindness can set the UI to something they can see.

  It would be nice to be able to have option to enable notifications for player attacks vs invader attacks.
