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

[–] kopi-pasted@incremental.social 27 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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 :)

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 1 year 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 :)

[–] aldalire@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 1 year ago

[–] MasterNerd@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

Bitburner is the shit

[–] ProgrammingSocks@pawb.social 1 points 1 year 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 1 year ago

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