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

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 :)

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

[–] survivalmachine@beehaw.org 1 points 8 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.

You play League of Legends on linux?

[–] aldalire@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

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

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

[–] kopi-pasted@incremental.social 3 points 8 months 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...

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 8 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 :)

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.

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

[–] Metype@lemmy.world 3 points 8 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++)
