This repository is a starter Python AI written for the JavaScript based MMO game, screeps.
While code uploaded to the server must be in JavaScript, this repository is written in Python. We use the Transcrypt transpiler to transpile the python programming into JavaScript.
Specifically, it uses my fork of
transcrypt built with a few
modifications
intended to reduce the overhead of running Python in the Screeps
environment. Nothing against Transcrypt itself, and you're free to change the
installed fork my modifying requirements.txt! I've just found a few changes
useful that I've tested in node.js and the screeps environment, but that I don't
have time to generalize enough to include in the main transcrypt codebase.
This repository is intended as a base to be used for building more complex AIs, and has all the tooling needed to transpile Python into JavaScript set up.
To get started, check out the Setup Guide.
For a documentation index, see The Book, and for the main differences between Python and Transcrypt-flavored-Python, see Syntax Changes.
Join us on the Screeps Slack! We're in #python (though you need to sign up with the first link first :).
