Just finished the tutorial and now I have no idea what's going on. How are people finding NPCs to hack?

Lemon posted:Nope. Run scripts.fullsec and check for ones that look like NPCs - cyberdine.pub_info, weyland.access, things like that.

There's a user called db in 0000 spamming "scrips.fullsec" which is lowsec. I'm getting Jita local flashbacks from EVE here.

Lemon posted:You'd think at some point I'd get tired of making horrible things like this, but now that I'm buying more script space I think it's just going to get worse Pro-tip for ASCII art: the game terminal displays UTF-8 but not UTF-16. Source: Me, who spent too much time on an overambitious ASCII art script today before realizing I have no artistic talent.

You start out with 500 chars (not counting whitespace or comments) of maximum script space. You can buy upgrades but we're not building enterprise software over here. You're more likely to end up playing code golf. That said this is a cool game and I'm amazed every day at how much players have learned about the game systems just by poking at it. It's pretty crazy stuff considering the main interaction is typing in script names.

So writing scripts that read shell.txt isn't out of bounds? I thought that was mega haram.

Yorkshire Pudding posted:It's really enthralling though. I imagine if you actually know how to code it all comes a lot more naturally. Not really. You mostly figure out game mechanics by poking at them. Being a Javascript wizard lets you play a better game of code golf, that is, fitting as much code within the character limit as possible. Anyone hungry enough can play this game.
