This would be an amazing way to indulge my programming fascination while also honoring my financial commitment to stick with efforts that could make a direct $MM impact on P&L. Wait, I can program and do that? Where do I sign up?

Hi, devs! Feature request: that you can play the game without having to enter code; that you can actually point and drag and click. I hope that "You can master basics without knowing JavaScript" means that there is a traditional RTS style mousey interface

It doesn't make much sense, you really will not be able to control all those hundreds of creeps on your own 24/7 :)

I think that I would want to develop an intuition. I also definitely want to be able to check in on my mobile phone somehow.

It doesn't have to be all one or the other. It would be neat to be able to guide individuals or small groups while allowing the bulk of your forces to do their own thing.

Well, it is possible. You can place flags at the game field and program your creeps to move to them by a simple command.
