Some notes on the ScriptCraft Workshop for CoderDojo@IBM

There were some very good ideas for improvements and additions. One attendee wondered if it was possible to populate buildings as they were built. I thought I'd already written a spawn module to do this but it turns out I hadn't. I've just added a spawn module to version 3.1.11 which is out today (21st Nov 2015). Get it here http://scriptcraftjs.org/download/latest/

The Drone now also has a spawn method so you can for example unleash a horde of zombies by combining the spawn(), movement and times() functions like this...

/js spawn('ZOMBIE').fwd().times(10)

In my JS I construct an array variable and populate the array:
