/*
    The Claimer will be created with a room in mind to claim
    HOWTO
    place a blue flag in the room you want to claim, it will be removed once the room is claimed

    The Claimer's memory :
        -work: the room name of the room I want to claim
        -flag : the creeps unique identifier

    The claimer's create function only returns true if the spawner is busy or a claimer is made.
