About Screeps

Screeps means "scripting creeps." You use real JavaScript to script behavior of your units, or creeps. The Screeps franchise is aimed at programming enthusiasts and consists of two games: World and Arena.

About the Game

• All aspects of an RTS game: gathering resources, base building, creating and upgrading units.
  
• You don't control your units directly, you play by writing full-fledged JavaScript that runs on game servers.
  
• Other languages are supported via WebAssembly: C/C++, Rust, TypeScript, Go, C#, F#, Kotlin, Swift, D, Pascal, Zig, the list is growing.
  
• Your code is executed autonomously while fighting other players' code during series of short fast-paced 1x1 matchups.
  
• The system will match equal opponents based on your arena rating that changes with every rating game.
  
• You can find an equal opponent instantly 24/7 even if no other players are online, since their saved code is used instead.
  
• Different "arenas" (multiplayer game modes) each with its own rules set and goals covering many aspects of a strategy game.
  
• Only basic programming skills are required. However, if you are a pro developer, now is the chance to put your skills to the limit!
  
• We will introduce new arenas every season so that you always have to write new code for different challenges.
  
• Earn daily fame, gain resources and craft items to unlock more content during the season.
  
• Play with friends and design your own challenges and arenas.
