Show HN: Yare.io – game where you control units with JavaScript

I find the run loop to be fairly confusing. In step 2 of the tutorial we have s1.move(star_zxq.position); s1.energize(s1); if (s1.energy == s1.energy_capacity) { s1.move(base.position) s1.energize(base); } What's confusing is that it seems like my sprite should execute all four of these actions. So it's surprising to see that it only does one of these things at a time. There seem to be at least a couple hidden assumptions: 1. If multiple `move` commands are issued in one loop it…

Thanks for creating this. I have found it pretty impenetrable though, i've spent a good few minutes trying to get some of the bots to harvest, but they never seem to move. It feels like it could do with a bit of over the shoulder user testing. After a while the game does get canceled which may be the root cause of the issue?

Is it possible to hide the editor to see the cats? In the demo, it it possible to end the game instantly, if my bot has a bug the easy enemy model takes too long to win. I guess you have to add collisions. Otherwise the best strategy is probably to stack all the cats in the same position and get a x9 death ray.
