Tim's Screeps Code

Screeps with TypeScript! Uses Rollup to transpile and bundle.

So far, this is just a port of the tutorial code.

Initializing

To start, you must install Node.js and NPM. I recommend using the Long Term Support (LTS) release. Installing Node.js will also install NPM.

Once that's done, run this command:

npm install

You must run this command from the project directory. This will install all of the project dependencies into node_modules, which may take a couple minutes.

Building

You can build the bundled code with this command:

npm run build

You must run this command from the project directory. This will create dist/main.js containing the bundled code. It will also create a source map, but you don't need to worry about that.

Uploading

Before you try uploading any code, you need to create .screeps.json containing some configuration. The file must be located in the project directory, and should look something like this:

{
  "main": {
    "token": "AAAAAAAA-AAAA-AAAA-AAAA-AAAAAAAAAAAA",
    "protocol": "https",
    "hostname": "screeps.com",
    "branch": "auto"
  }
}

You need to replace the token with your actual token, from your account. You can do this by going to the Account page, clicking "Auth tokens", and then generating a "Full Access" token.

Once that's done, run this command:

npm run upload

This will build and upload your code to the official Screeps server.

Visual Studio Code

If you're looking for a text editor suggestion, I would consider Visual Studio Code. It seems to work really well with TypeScript. If you do end up using Visual Studio Code, make sure you download the Clang-Format extension (use Ctrl + Shift + X). It should automatically pick up the project settings. Press Ctrl + Shift + I to format code.
