RFC CEMENT



  • I just had a brainfart - we need to write and RFC for screep-based messaging system and submit to the IETF. Look at RFC 2549 for inspiration.
    Basic idea is that, energy-carrying creeps are used to carry messages - creep energy level is used to carry the message header and content.
    There could be variations of messages - simple ones with one-to-one energy-level to ASCII code conversion and complex ones with compressed data. Packet order could be determined by the screep movement vectors or could be a part of the energy level.

    We also need a catchy name for the messaging protocol - please submit yours in the comments below. Current working title is Creep Encoded Messaging Energy Network Transport.

    I'll start:

    A standard for the Transmission of textual information on creeps.
