Lol ok I'll ask: wtf is that code?

[-] kopi-pasted@incremental.social 27 points 7 months ago

The code is for an incremental RPG programming game called Bitburner, which uses a version of JavaScript that has some additional game-specific APIs and restrictions (the game originally ran in a web browser)

This code in particular is a (flawed) solution to the first problem the game throws at you, which is finding a way to hack as much in-game money as possible from in-game servers. (The problem is more complicated than it appears at first glance, and I'll try to elaborate if you ask.)

Urghh, now I must post before I leave...

No it’s actually to compute the threads required for a hghw batching script :)

[-] kopi-pasted@incremental.social 4 points 7 months ago

My bad, was wondering why it was called "recon"... HACK GROW HACK WEAKEN? What on earth is this madness? Did... did you... did you do this on purpose?

Anyways, I think I'm going to write the essay despite no one asking.

I am trying to.get into the game but I am very clueless do I have to learn javascript before continueing or will it teach me

[-] aldalire@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 7 months ago

there's documentation , but it's a good way to learn javascript imo. It gives you an environment to interact with javascript and that's a perfect place to go hands-on and learn programming :)

Might be bitburner?

No idea though, just saw this

[-] aldalire@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 7 months ago

It is bitburner :3

[-] MasterNerd@lemm.ee 4 points 7 months ago

Bitburner is the shit

[-] ProgrammingSocks@pawb.social 1 points 7 months ago

OK I was just shitting on JS but any way to gamify programming might be good for me. I'll check it out

[-] CptEnder@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

Is that like a programming game? (I know nothing about programming haha)

[-] Donnywholovedbowling@lemmy.world 11 points 7 months ago

Love bitburner. I have a tiered hacking script I've written that distributes itself to all hacked servers and manages their cash whilst extracting the max amount. Great game 10/10

[-] aldalire@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 7 months ago

I’ve been banging my head against the wall at making a continuous batching script. I finally got it to (kind of) work using the additionalMsec property of the hack, weak, and grow to time the batches. I’m getting a billion a second with it rn :)

[-] Donnywholovedbowling@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

Sounds like you're on the right track! I have admittedly taken a break and haven't used ns3 so it's probably way more capable now. Great game though!

[-] ProgrammingSocks@pawb.social 8 points 7 months ago

What the fuck kind of JavaScript fuckery is for (; ; i++)

[-] Metype@lemmy.world 10 points 7 months ago

i is already initiated so the first statement isn't necessary so it's empty.

The loop is ended with a conditional break statement so the loop end criteria isn't necessary so it's empty.

We want each iteration to increment i so it's i++

That's how you end up with (;;i++)

[-] germanatlas@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 7 months ago

Omg a bitburner player

[-] HerbalGamer@sh.itjust.works 6 points 7 months ago

lol I've got bitburner running on autopilot right now

[-] Perfsad@lemmy.ml 3 points 7 months ago

You play League of Legends on linux?

[-] aldalire@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 7 months ago

yup 😊 although they’re going to force their kernel level anti cheat soon. So i gotta enjoy it while it lasts

[-] noli@programming.dev 3 points 7 months ago

I finally quit and started playing overwatch2 instead. Same amount of salt/toxicity!

Did you somehow convince KDE to be a tiling window manager? Is that what I'm seeing here?

[-] survivalmachine@beehaw.org 1 points 7 months ago

I dunno about this newfangled plasma 6 stuff, but I was tiling KDE for a few days using extensions like bismuth. It was rad af, but really just convinced me I needed to make the jump to proper tiling with hyprland.
