Screeps

Screeps is about scripting your creeps.

Screeps is an open source MMO RTS sandbox game for programmers, wherein the core mechanic is programming your units AI. Screeps is developed for people with basic programming skills. Unlike some other RTS games, your units in Screeps can react to events without your participation – provided that you have programmed them properly. With all the attributes of a full-fledged strategy game, you control your colony by writing real JavaScript which operate 24/7 in the single persistent world filled by other players on par with you. There are numerous online games where your character exists in the game world only while you’re online and disappears after you exit the game, but only Screeps runs your scripts in full continuously, on the 24/7 basis, and you are allowed to use them for anything JavaScript allows.

Screeps Review:

7.7 Total Score
Very Good

Screeps is an unusual MMO game that has no counterparts at the moment. Completely new game concept that appeals to programmers or people wanting to learn programming. Control your colony by writing real JavaScript which operate 24/7 in the single persistent world filled by other players. Your colony can harvest resources, build units, conquer territory, trade with another colonies. As you conquer more territory, your influence in the game world grows, as well as your abilities to expand your footprint. I would recommend this game to anyone interested in general programming, computer science, engineering, logic and World Domination. The game also has a great, incredibly helpful and patient community, answering questions in the game's forums or the dedicated chatroom.
