Respecting the screeps ai api

Following document explains the guidelines the core API should follow (and nothing else).

Memory

Following fields should be set to:

• Memory to {}
  • Memory.spawns to {}
  • Memory.sources to {}
  • Memory.spawnQueue to AI.settings.spawnQueue
  • Memory.spawnPriorityQueue to AI.settings.spawnPriorityQueue

Each Memory.spawn member field should be set to:

• Memory.spawns[spawn] to {}
• Memory.spawns[spawn].spawnQueue to []
• Memory.spawns[spawn].spawnPriorityQueue to []

All memory is guaranteed to be removed except Memory.permanent

Gathering statistics

• Code extensions/tools/hooks/getStats.js
• Gathers game state of the beginning of the round (and should be the only plugin to do that)

Keeping statistics in memory

• Uses Memory.stats to add new data
• Has a pre hook to move Memory.stats to Memory.statsHistory
  • So any other code executed after pre can store data (post hooks and stages behind pre can store data to it)

Creep memory

• <creep>.memory.role contains the role of the creep
• Death checker reserves <creep>.memory.copyOnDead. If set this determines if the creep will spawn or not.
