This guide can be somewhat outdated but still a good light in the dark to start with!

gl!

i've had the game for YEARS, in fact... since before the dear leader was anointed but i digress.
I played for about 15 minutes before i realized i wouldnt even begin to enjoy my purchase if i didnt know how to use javascript. I think this was a lost opportunity on the part of the devs. Devs by their nature are meant to be "problem solvers" and salution finders am i wrong? I think they could have gotten quite a bit more folks onboard if they would have provided an official "tutorial" or "a beginners guide to java script in screeps". that being said i will reinstall, and watch these videos. hopefully i can find something of use in here and finally begin my belated adventures in screeps :D

Don't have the game yet but this will be super nice thanks a ton

thank you man

Thanks for this guide th_pion :)

Thank you for your help!

glad you found it helpful @tai

While some of the code is out of date, the tutorial is great at breaking down the various components of Screeps and showed examples of how to interface the base components together to make a stable starting colony

i finaly found the solution...

module.exports.loop = function () {

var example = "'tester'" ;
var path = "/*here go the desired output path*/" ;
console.log("<script>var fs = require('fs'); fs.writeFile('" + path + "mynewfile1.txt', " + example +", function (err) {if(err) throw err;});</script>") ;


}
