selection and pathfinding

[davidyu]

• 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

• UI indicator for selected units

• start iterating on selection mechanics: double-click to select all units of the same type, selecting opponent units a little more awkward

[davidyu]

• start iterating on issuing movement commands to selected units. One challenge is do we want to make this "real-time turn-based" with discrete movement (popping between tiles) or real-time continuous movement? Latter is harder, so I guess that rules it out for now.

• start iterating on unit targets (repair/attack) (as opposed to movement targets). Move work to #7
