## What kind of game is Screeps
## What kind of a game is Screeps

Screeps is a massive multiplayer online real-time strategy game. Each player can create their own colony in a **single persistent world** shared by all the players. Such a colony can mine **resources**, build **units**, conquer **territory**. As you conquer more territory, your influence in the game world grows, as well as your abilities to expand your footprint. However, it requires a lot of effort on your part, since multiple players may aim at the same territory.
Screeps is a massive multiplayer online real-time strategy game. Each player can create their own colony in a **single persistent world** shared by all the players. Such a colony can mine **resources**, build **units**, and conquer **territory**. As you conquer more territory, your influence in the game world grows, as well as your abilities to expand your footprint. However, it requires a lot of effort on your part, since multiple players may aim for the same territory.

Screeps is developed for people with **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. And, unlike other MMO, you do not have to play Screeps constantly to play well. It is quite enough just to check once in a while to see if everything goes well.

**Energy sources** are the main game resource. They can be harvested by worker creeps. The amount of energy in a source is limited, but resumes once in 300 game ticks.

**Spawns** are your colony centers. They can accumulate mined energy and use it to create your units. There may be no more than 3 spawns in a room. Hence, by building 3 spawns in a room you actually conquer it. You can have multiple spawns totally in all your rooms though.

A spawn itself can build only basic units. In order to build more complex ones, you have to construct one or more spawn **extensions**. Read more about that in the next article.
