• implement first-pass AI/opponent
• dumb AI (individual targeting, no overall commander)

• May be a post-jam/prototype task

• determine valid attack 'slots' given range
• acquire empty attack 'slot'
• attack and do damage periodically

See this and this for inspiration

• no anims, just up down left right

• Invisible command center, spawns SCVs when enough minerals have been reached
• Physical command center, occupies up to four tiles. Takes commands to spawn SCVs.

• encode FOW state into map struct
• ideally, we'd write a shader, but NO TIME!

• Static minerals that can be mined
• SCV mining behavior

• A* lib

• select a group of up to 20 units (easy if we do O(n^2) search, harder otherwise)
• issue movement commands to those units (easy)
• HOW TO DISTRIBUTE LOCATION UGH! (hard)
  • in particular, when player issues a move command, we only have 1 target for up to 20 units. How will we distribute their target locations so that they don't go on pathfinding overdrive or do something weird?
  • likewise, with attacking, 20 units can target 1 unit, they have all to find an open location within range of the target unit. This is hard for close-combat units like Zealots, but thankfully we don't have them in this demake. ACTUALLY, SCVs ATTACK JUST LIKE ZEALOTS UGH LOL WTF
