v0.51.3 - 2021-04-16 Y'all broke it on the first day (hydroflame) ------- Passive faction reputation * Reworked, from 1 rep / 2 minute. Now is a complicated percentage of the reputation you'd gain working for them. It's not op but it feels a bit more useful. Netscript * print/tprint now take any number of arguments. * print/tprint will now print object as json. * print/tprint now handle passing in an undefined argument properly. Casino * Cannot bet negative money anymore. * Roulette max bet is a bit higher. * Coin Flip has a small cooldown. * All buttons reject unstrusted mouse events. Documentation * Changed a message that said nsjs only works on Chrome. Bugfix * hacknet.maxNumNodes now works for both nodes and servers. * Fixed a bug where the popup boxes would contain data from previous popup boxes. * .js files will also have the export async function boilerplate. Misc. * turned off autocomplete for the terminal text input. * Fixed an issue on Windows+Firefox where pressing up on the terminal would bring the cursor to the begining of the line. (Issue #836) * Hacknet node names is easier to handle for screen readers. * Money spent on classes is now tracked independently of work money. * running coding contract from the terminal will display its name.

Learn to Program in Netscript
|
|
=============================
|
|
Netscript is simply a subset of
|
|
`JavaScript <https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript>`_,
|
|
with some additional functions added in to allow interaction with the game.
|
|
|
|
For Beginner Programmers
|
|
------------------------
|
|
If you have little to no programming experience, that's okay! You don't need to be
|
|
a great programmer in order to enjoy or play this game. In fact, this game could
|
|
help you learn some basic programming concepts.
|
|
|
|
Here are some good tutorials for learning programming/JavaScript as a beginner:
|
|
|
|
* `Learn-JS <http://www.learn-js.org/en/Welcome>`_
|
|
* `Speaking JavaScript <http://speakingjs.com/es5/index.html>`_
|
|
This is a bit on the longer side. You can skip all of the historical
|
|
background stuff. Recommended chapters: 1, 7-18
|
|
|
|
For Experienced Programmers
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
The following section lists several good tutorials/resources for those who have experience
|
|
programming but who have not worked extensively with JavaScript before.
|
|
|
|
Before that, however, it's important to clarify some terminology about the different
|
|
versions of JavaScript. These are summarized in this article:
|
|
|
|
`WTF is ES6, ES8, ES2017, ECMAScript... <https://codeburst.io/javascript-wtf-is-es6-es8-es-2017-ecmascript-dca859e4821c>`_
|
|
|
|
An important takeaway from this article is that ES6, also known as ES2015, introduced
|
|
many major features that are commonly seen in modern JavaScript programming. However, this
|
|
means that ES5 engines and interpreters will fail if they encounters these ES6 features. You'll see why this
|
|
is important further down.

Netscript 1.0 vs Netscript 2.0
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
There are two versions of Netscript:
|
|
|
|
* :doc:`netscript1`
|
|
* :doc:`netscriptjs`
|
|
|
|
Visit the pages above to get more details about each version. If you are new
|
|
to programming or unfamiliar with JavaScript, I would recommend starting out
|
|
with :doc:`netscript1`. Experienced web developers can use :doc:`netscriptjs`
|
|
to take advantage of faster speeds and additional features.
|
|
|
|
Here is a short summary of the differences between Netscript 1.0 and Netscript 2.0:
|
|
|
|
**Netscript 1.0**
|
|
|
|
* ES5
|
|
* Some ES6 features implemented with polyfills
|
|
* Slow compared to NetscriptJS (interpreter runs at the "Netscript Exec Time" speed configured in options)
|
|
* Compatible with all browsers
|
|
|
|
**Netscript JS (Netscript 2.0)**
|
|
|
|
* Supports (almost) all features of modern JavaScript
|
|
* Extremely fast - code is executed as an Async Function
|
|
* Works on most modern browsers.
|
|
* Each script becomes a module and therefore all instances of that script can easily
|
|
share data between each other (essentially global/static variables)
