GAMES LIKE SCREEPS CODE

The guide became quite popular and well-distributed within both my house and the more general Caltech undergraduate population. I've also written a practical guide to Mathematica, specifically for use in problem sets, as part of an 'upperclassman workshop' that I gave in my senior year of college.

Sometimes when I get bored, I calculate random things in Mathematica and put them on a blog, like finding the vibrational eigenmodes of a cow, or describing a particle in a fidget-spinner-shaped potential well. I've also recently started a series of blog posts to share some of the cool things I make in it!

Since I started playing the game in January 2017, IвЂ™ve created a Screeps AI, which I dubbed Overmind, that I've contributed some ~150,000 additions to. The units run in real-time even when you arenвЂ™t actively playing the game, and the game progresses on the scale of weeks or months, so the more you can automate, the better.

However, unlike most RTS games, you cannot actively control your units you must instead write code to govern their behavior using JavaScript (or a transpiled language - I use TypeScript). Like most RTS games, the core objective of Screeps is to expand your territory and defend against other players. Screeps is an MMO strategy game for programmers. These are some of the side projects I've worked on over the last few years, arranged approximately in descending chronological order of when I started each project.
