Foundation

NOTE: This bot is not currently viable for function in a Screeps server. This is simply a foundation

Code Changes

International

• Foundation for international logic
  • creepOrganizer. Organization of creeps into classes and objects based on their role, as well as tracking the number of creeps
  • a powerCreepOrganizer similar to the creepOrganizer
  • first-time and tick configurations, setting up variables and object structures in Memory, global, and game object prototypes that the bot can use in the future
  • internationalFunctions that will be used to organize the internationalManager
  • InternationalTaskManager, a manager that will be used to create and delete tasks that relate to inter-room matters

Room

• A foundation for room logic
  • Files required for market operations, as well as a skeleton for market functions such as finding the avg trading price of a resource
  • a creepRoleManager that assigns creeps to roles and runs their managers
  • A set of creep managers with coinciding functions that mandate creep actions
  • spawning-related files to determine how many and of what makeup creeps will be spawned as, as well as a spawnManager dictating spawning based on the requests
  • powerCreep files similar to the aforementioned creep files
  • commune and remote managers to run functions purely required by those room types
  • a constructionManager to manage and plan automated construction in the room and to other rooms
  • roomTaskManager to create and delete tasks for creeps and structures
  • roomFunctions to organize room prototypes that can improve organization and speed and reduce duplicate code

Other code

• Error mapper, a module carried over from the screeps-typescript-starter that informs where errors are located
• globalFunctions, a file containing common-use functions assigned as properties to global that can be accessed anywhere
• Implemented memHack, completely avoiding CPU costs for parsing Memory
• Added logManager which handles customLogs, allowing 1 or 100 ticks to be displayed

Other

• Implemented rollup based on screeps-typescript-starter's system to make uploading code to servers simple and easy
• Added readme, complete with the following
  • Installation instructions
  • How to use and edit
  • A description alongside previews of the bot's intended functionality
