3. [Discussion] API for power creep management

[Discussion] API for power creep management


  • Good evening ladies and gents,

    I'd like to extract this topic from the design document. It would make sense to focus the comments in the design document to the power creep mechanics rather than related mechanisms.

    I mirror the opinion of many of my colleagues that an API for power creeps is a must.

    A fully autonomous AI is the hope and dream of every young Screeper. It is a fundamental aspect of the game and should not be taken away.

    It is a critical but fascinating challenge to teach your AI how to use a new GCL point. In the same way, the automatic selection of powers would be an amazing challenge. 99.9% of players would use the provided UI to manage power creeps, but the remaining 0.1% would love the game all the more for allowing them to waste months on this intellectual challenge.

    Kind regards,
    Atavus
