If you like programming and if you like problem solving with a RTS-like system. This is a perfect game for that. Even if you don't like Javascript there are many toolings that allow using basically anything that can compile to WASM. From Rust to C# to C++ everything can be used even if the underlying game is running JS and Node You basically try to write code so you have to play the game as little as possible. But problems always arise from your code breaking to needing to expand or dying to invader or other players. You are never done Optimizing and expanding your code. A little tip for new player: Start on Shard3 world and don't use Open source projects as your starting point. try to learn it on your own and only look at them at them to get ideas on how to handle things never copy

It's an incredibly fun and challenging game if you're a programmer looking to do something fun with programming. In my opinion, it's even good preparation to learn video game programming. Many of the mindsets you have to learn to "play" Screeps well will also serve you well while programming your own video game. [*]Your code runs in a main loop that starts from the beginning every frame. [*]Therefore you cannot animate or progress your entities in loops like you would in a web page. Your inner loops hold up the current tick just like they would hold up the current frame in a video game. [*]Therefore you have to read the state of everything once per frame, track your goals, increment progress towards completing them, and then save it and start over again. [*]One of the resources you must manage is CPU usage. Therefore, also like a video game, you have to write efficient code. For example, you shouldn't generate a path for your entities to follow every turn. You generate it once, save it to memory, and then make them step along it frame-by-frame. See what I mean? This game could be a lifelong hobby if you can get past the steep learning curve. Some people download someone else's code and modify it, but I recommend writing it yourself from scratch. It's far more rewarding when you see your units moving around and doing stuff, and you know it was your blood, sweat, and tears that made it happen.

It's very satisfying to see your litte screeps do their job after you spent some hours coding their behaviour. It feels similar to watching an Ant colony :D Update: I might be getting addicted to this game lmao. This scratches a similar itch to factorio.
