      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…

          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.

          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 :)

    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 :)

        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!

      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++)

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