Cookie Clicker

Yes yes, this is base off of the Cookie Clicker game, which can be found here.


So! The inspiration for making this game came from an attempt from another member, the game title "Grass Clicker". I didn't see any progress being made toward it, and this seemed like a good idea for a first attempt at a game.



Current version: v0.1
Why so early of a release? Well, it's nice to show my progress as I go along.

Everyone who kept posting. Really kept me motivated.

Hmm, so a game where you click a lot.

Beat my high score in the web game of, well, lots.

setInterval(function(){$('#bigCookie').click()}, 5)

100% legit.

Anyway, seems pretty good. The little upgrade things like the web site that makes cookies for you would be cool.

I am working on upgrades right now, actually. It's quite fun to figure out just how they should be calculated :D/>

Thanks for doing this yourself-I don't plan on working on grassclicker for quite a bit of time, although I might try in a bit of time, especially the fact that you can't run code at the same time, which is pretty tricky, as there needs to be a way to disable it, while it making cookies.
Let's see how your own of this works it out :D/>

Updated the pastebin, update log, and added a new screenshot.

Well hopefully I'll have it working by the next version :P/>

Haha, I guess you could try parallel.

Oh, I'm not going to use parallel, I'll just pull the mouse click and timer events. The calculations as of now are quite frustrating.


Added base system for cookies per second. I plan to improve it, as of now all it does it wait one second then give you however many cookies are labled as cookies per second. Later, I'll make it to give it in increments if the number is high enough.

Theres one more thing on the site you may be forgetting, and that might be a little bit of actual upgrades and not items :P/>

You should mention in the OP that you can't name the file cookie
And if you want you could even do this so you don't need the file cookie

local cookie = {
    "  11111  ";
    " 1111111 ";
    "101101111";
    "111011011";
    "110110111";
    " 1101111 ";
    "  11111  ";
}
local function drawCookie( _x, _y )
    for y = 1, #cookie do
   for x = 1,#cookie[y] do
   local str = cookie[y]:sub( x, x )
if str == "1" then
   term.setBackgroundColor( colors.brown )
elseif str == "0" then
   term.setBackgroundColor( colors.black )
else
   term.setBackgroundColor( colors.white )
end
term.setCursorPos( _x-1+x, _y-1+y )
term.write( " " )
end
end
end

Well, I'll have to re-do the menu for that, or maybe just button to click off to it. Hmm.

You're right, I'll fix it, thanks.

Damn, I was JUST working on a Cookie Clicker a couple of days ago. Oh well, yours works and doesn't crash when you click whilst it adds the CPS, so I don't mind XD.

Lol.

I've been re-working the layout of the program, and eventually decided to just re-write the whole program. So now, back to v0.1, but a lot of features are there still. Check the changelog for more details.

You should try to redraw only the items that need to be redrawn. This game has ALOT of flashing in redraw while playing it. Making it look terrrible. Why redraw your title, background, and the cookie every game tick. You should only redraw them when they have changed.

That's mostly because of term.clear(), If you would try to remove it and just let it draw it wouldn't flicker so much, but the something on the screen would eventually get screwed up.

I made an unofficial V0.5.1 Version.

Changelog:

–Added Splash Screen

No mean to be rude, but it would be kind of you to give me credit for the original idea at the bottom :)/>

He probably didn't copy it off you, it's quite a popular and well known game.

I could maybehelp out with the jupgrade system…if you need help…let me know on how you're doing it and maybe get in contact with me.

Wat? Lua numbers can have that large numbers? Or they're just floating point numbers…
