Coding Contracts
|
|
================
|
|
Coding Contracts are a mechanic that lets players earn rewards in
|
|
exchange for solving programming problems.
|
|
|
|
Coding Contracts are files with the ".cct" extensions. They can
|
|
be accessed through the :ref:`terminal` or through scripts using
|
|
the :ref:`netscriptcodingcontractapi`
|
|
|
|
Each contract has a limited number of attempts. If you
|
|
provide the wrong answer too many times and exceed the
|
|
number of attempts, the contract will self destruct (delete itself)
|
|
|
|
Currently, Coding Contracts are randomly generated and
|
|
spawned over time. They can appear on any server (including your
|
|
home computer), except for your purchased servers.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Running in Terminal
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
To run a Coding Contract in the Terminal, simply use the
|
|
:ref:`run_terminal_command` command::
|
|
|
|
$ run some-contract.cct
|
|
|
|
Doing this will bring up a popup. The popup will display
|
|
the contract's problem, the number of attempts remaining, and
|
|
an area to provide an answer.
|
|
|
|
Interacting through Scripts
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
See :ref:`netscriptcodingcontractapi`.
|
|
|
|
Submitting Solutions
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
Different contract problem types will require different types of
|
|
solutions. Some may be numbers, others may be strings or arrays.
|
|
If a contract asks for a specific solution format, then
|
|
use that. Otherwise, follow these rules when submitting solutions:
|
|
|
|
* String-type solutions should not have quotation marks surrounding
|
|
the string (unless specifically asked for). Only quotation
|
|
marks that are part of the actual string solution should be included.
|
|
* Array-type solutions should be submitted with each element
|
|
in the array separated by commas. Brackets are optional. For example,
|
|
both of the following are valid solution formats::
|
|
|
|
1,2,3
|
|
[1,2,3]
|
|
|
|
However, if the solution is a multidimensional array, then
|
|
all arrays that are not the outer-most array DO require the brackets.
|
|
For example, an array of arrays can be submitted as one of the following::
|
|
|
|
[1,2],[3,4]
|
|
[[1,2],[3,4]]
|
|
|
|
* Numeric solutions should be submitted normally, as expected
|
|
|
|
Rewards
|
|
^^^^^^^
|
|
There are currently four possible rewards for solving a Coding Contract:
|
|
|
|
* Faction Reputation for a specific Faction
|
|
* Faction Reputation for all Factions that you are a member of
|
|
* Company reputation for a specific Company
|
|
* Money
|
|
|
|
The 'amount' of reward varies based on the difficulty of the problem
|
|
posed by the Coding Contract. There is no way to know what a
|
|
Coding Contract's exact reward will be until it is solved.
|

Notes
|
|
^^^^^
|
|
|
|
* The *scp* Terminal command does not work on Coding Contracts
