BitBurner Idle Game Scripts

This repo is where I am keeping my scripts for the game BitBurner. The game uses a flat file structure; the folder structure in game is fake, so you can't just plop this repo into a game directory.

If it still works, this repo should use the BitBurner VSCode extension to import these files into the game.

Files

This entire file structure and naming scheme was given no thought, and desparately needs an overhaul. If I decide to play again I'll probably do that.

I am writing this out months after last playing, so notes may be inaccurate.

• actions/ Holds the small action scripts used by the hacking script
• codingContracts/ Unused at the moment, but will hold the script that scan for and completes coding contracts
• helpers/ Just some small helper scripts
  • findServerPath.js
    • Servers in this game are a tree, and this will print the path to a specific node given by name. Uses DFS to find the top to bottom path
  • getServerTree.js
    • Same idea as findServerPath.js, but will just print out the entire server tree structure. Uses BFS to find the distance (depth) of each server
  • openPorts.js
    • Opens the ports on a target with every available attack exe you currently have
  • scanForServers.js
    • I don't remember, looks similar to getServerTree.js, but probably(?) had a different purpose
  • serverSetup.js
    • ! Important ! This script moves all the attack scripts over to a given server, then calls over to openPorts.js to start prepping for attacks
  • sleep.js
    • A different sleep method from the one the game engine gives. If I remember this one is non-blocking on the thread where as the in-engine one isn't. (Could be wrong on that, but there was a good reason to have this over the given one)
• serverLists/ The stuff in here is randomized per game, it is just some server names and metadata
• startOfGame/ Unused currently, will hold scripts to jumpstart the run after reseting on a new BitNode
• basicHack.js
  • First hack written, basically from the wiki/guide. Will just dumbly attack a server endlessly
• HackMaster.js
  • "Smart" script that will find all reachable servers, best target server, and make everything start hacking that, but with a smart timing system. (This script "works", but there are some serious inconsistencies that happen on the target server I think)
• hackOnRemote.js
  • I don't remember what this was, it may just be a medium complexity script I wrote between basicHack.js and HackMaster.js
