Screeps say Emoji's

[stblade]

So I started of with getting the hang of Screeps by working through the tutorial, Yep... copied and pasted my way to something workable. Being a PHP programmer my Javascript sucks...

What I liked was that the tutorial had these small emoji icons for the say action. I wanted to change these to different emoji's for different tasks. A Google search did not deliver very much in the way of doing it the easy way. Until I happened on this site:

Emojipedia[emojipedia.org]

This site allows you to search for an emoji and it then gives you the small icon that you can paste directly into your code. Like this:

creep.say('⛏️ harvest');

or

creep.say('🔧 repair');

So until I can learn Javascript a bit better to do this in code, my Creeps can have some pretty say messages. Hope this is some help to newbies.

If you are on windows 10 you can also press the win key + . (period) to open up the emoji keyboard for easy placing of the icons.

Once you get that down, you can try creep.memory.status = "what did i just do now";
and you can basically track what they are doing, and if you want to make great status reports, include your targets in them, creep.memory.status = "harvesting energy from " + target; for example.

That's funny I was also doing the tuto and liked the emojis usage here too, and now I'm using them too.

I use the full list of emojis to chose now : https://unicode.org/emoji/charts/full-emoji-list.html
