Automated ship movement - claiming resources

[miniature-tiger]

When ships reach new islands, resources are revealed. This update focuses on automating the decision to claim those resources by computer opponents. A simplified approach has been used initially but scoped to allow updates to more complex strategies.

automove.js

• Addition of method to check whether there are resources to be claimed by computer opponents and decide whether a resource should be claimed

main.js, resource.js

• Code for claiming of resource tile moved from main.js to resource.js and updated to work for both human and computer opponent game logic.

movement.js

• Separate method for post ship transition actions created (conflicts, harbour repair, land discovery). [May convert to async if more transitions actions created].

gameManagement.js

• Update to separate array console.logs from workflow console.logs and add a new button to the developer panel. Array logs are useful in checking whether all game elements are being captured but not always necessary when checking the flow of game logic.
