Quests

The TooAngel AI provides Quests which solvable by other players. Solving a quest brings reputation and sometimes resources, too. With increasing reputation the difficulty level of the quests increases, from build some constructionSites up to ‘Room xyz needs to have an unclaimed controller in tick …’

The reputation of the players is public visible and gives an indicator how advanced other players are. And hopefully it brings even more fun playing against the TooAngel bot on a private server.

And most important, the best way I could come up with to handle interaction of the TooAngel AI instances.

The reputation weights other players, e.g. players with high reputation can pass through reserved or controlled rooms without punishment. Other players can send quests to the TooAngel AI, which they solved.

For communication see: API

Quests can be:

• buildcs Build all construction sites in the given room
• tbd Write your (or my) name with roads (or walls or creeps) in a specific room
• tbd Bring resource to room
• tbd Send resource via terminal to room
• tbd Get resource via creep from room
• tbd Defend specific room for some time
• tbd Defend your room
• tbd Attack my (or someone else) room
• tbd Sign controller in room with [username] smells funny
• tbd Dismantle structure id in room
• tbd Solving math problems: Send a creep to a room and say math problems and the other creep need to say the solution
• tbd Send a creep with random BODYPARTS to a room
• …

If necessary the Quester creep will watch the progress and needs to stay alive.

Next level: To introduce the bidirectional collaboration a Quest will send, to give a Quest back to our AI. After that both sides are able to send Quests to each other.

To avoid misuse, requesting Quests will cost reputation. The requestable quest types depend on the reputation level.
