Current release: Overmind v0.2.x - "Logistics Logic"
Screeps is an MMO strategy game for programmers. The core objective is to expand your colony to gather more resources. The game runs 24/7, even when you aren't actively playing; to control your units, you program their behavior in JavaScript or any other transpiled language. This is the AI I have been developing for Screeps, themed loosely around the Zerg's swarm intelligence from Starcraft. Creeps belong to Colonies, which have several Hive Clusters. Creep actions for a given process are orchestrated by Overlords. The colony Overseer places Directives to adapt to stimuli.

I've recently respawned to shard2 in the EXS4X sector.
If you're new to Screeps, I wouldn't recommend using Overmind as your AI: most of the fun of the game is programming your own AI and watching your little ant farm run! However, I've tried to make the codebase readable and well-documented, so feel free to fork the project or use it as inspiration when writing your AI.
If you do want to use Overmind as-is, the latest release should work right out of the box. However, if you find something broken, please submit an issue and I'll try to fix it.
If you just want to run Overmind without modification, you can copy the compiled main.js file attached to the latest release into your script.
If you want to install the full codebase, download or clone the repository, then navigate to the Overmind root directory and run:
npm install
(This will take about a minute to execute.) To compile and deploy the codebase, create a screeps.json file from the example file, then nagivate to the Overmind root directory and do one of the following actions:
- Compile and deploy to public server:
npm run push-main - Compile and deploy to private server:
npm run push-pserver - Compile without deploying:
rollup -c
The deployment scripts are based on screeps-typescript-starter; for additional help, refer to their GitBook or submit an issue.
