Getting Started Guide for Beginner Programmers
|
||
|
|
==============================================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.. note:: Note that the scripts and strategies given in this guide aren't necessarily
|
||
|
|
optimal. They're just meant to introduce you to the game and help you get
|
||
|
|
started.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is an introductory guide to getting started with Bitburner. It is not meant to be a
|
||
|
|
comprehensive guide for the entire game, only the early stages. If you are confused
|
||
|
|
or overwhelmed by the game, especially the programming and scripting aspects, this
|
||
|
|
guide is perfect for you!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Note that this guide is tailored towards those with minimal programming experience.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Introduction
|
||
|
|
------------
|
||
|
|
Bitburner is a cyberpunk-themed incremental RPG. The player progresses by raising
|
||
|
|
their :ref:`gameplay_stats`, earning money, and :ref:`climbing the corporate ladder <gameplay_companies>`.
|
||
|
|
Eventually, after reaching certain criteria, the player will begin receiving invitations
|
||
|
|
from :ref:`gameplay_factions`. Joining these factions and working for them will unlock
|
||
|
|
:ref:`gameplay_augmentations`. Purchasing and installing Augmentations provide persistent
|
||
|
|
upgrades and are necessary for progressing in the game.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The game has a minimal story/quest-line that can be followed to reach the end of the game.
|
||
|
|
Since this guide is only about getting started with Bitburner, it will not cover the
|
||
|
|
entire "quest-line".
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
First Steps
|
||
|
|
-----------
|
||
|
|
I'm going to assume you followed the introductory tutorial when you first began the game.
|
||
|
|
In this introductory tutorial you created a script called `foodnstuff.script` and ran it
|
||
|
|
on the `foodnstuff` server. Right now, we'll kill this script. There are two ways
|
||
|
|
to do this:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. You can go to the Terminal and enter::
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
$ kill foodnstuff.script
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2. You can go to the "Active Scripts" page (:ref:`Keyboard shortcut <shortcuts>` Alt + s) and
|
||
|
|
press the "Kill Script" button for `foodnstuff.script`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you skipped the introductory tutorial, then ignore the part above. Instead, go to the
|
||
|
|
"Hacknet Nodes" page (:ref:`Keyboard shortcut <shortcuts>` Alt + h) and purchase a
|
||
|
|
Hacknet Node to start generating some passive income.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
