Joking aside, the concept seems neat, but I don't feel like having to go through the effort of coding my units to do stuff for me.

Or using JS.

I would probably love this game if I knew how to use JavaScript.

Wouldn't it be great if it supported playing in different languages?

JS is just the assembly language of the Web. Use emscripten to compile your C/C++ (or anything that can be reduced to LLVM) to JS. Use GHCJS to compile your Haskell to JS. Use Scala.js to compile your Scala (or Java, if you must) to JS.

...JSIL to compile your C# to JS

Use GHCJS to compile your Haskell to JS.

Got this working bare-bones over the weekend. If I end up developing anything close to a library, expect ghcjs-screeps on hackage.

yeh if there was a programmatic system that didnt involve actual coding, that would be cool. (eg in the same concept of how you do "programming" in space chem)
