<h1>NetscriptJS (Netscript 2.0)<a class="headerlink" href="#netscriptjs-netscript-2-0" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h1>
|
|
<p>Netscript 2.0, or Netscript JS, is the new and improved version of Netscript that
|
|
allows users to write (almost) full-fledged Javascript code in their scripts, while
|
|
still being able to access the Netscript functions.</p>
|
|
<p>NetscriptJS was developed primarily by <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/jaguilar">Github user jaguilar</a></p>
|
|
<p>On top of having almost all of the features and capabilities of Javascript, NetscriptJS is also
|
|
significantly faster than Netscript 1.0.</p>
|
|
<p>This documentation will not go over any of the additional features of NetscriptJS, since
|
|
there is plenty of documentation on Javascript available on the web.</p>

<h2>NetscriptJS in Mozilla Firefox<a class="headerlink" href="#netscriptjs-in-mozilla-firefox" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
|
|
<p>As of the time of writing this, the Mozilla Firefox browser does not support
|
|
dynamic import functionality and therefore cannot run NetscriptJS scripts.</p>
|
|
<p>(This may be some option/method for enabling this in Firefox, but I don't know
|
|
what is it)</p>

<h2>How to use NetscriptJS<a class="headerlink" href="#how-to-use-netscriptjs" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
|
|
<p>Working with NetscriptJS scripts is the same as Netscript 1.0 scripts. The only difference
|
|
is that NetscriptJS scripts use the ".ns" or ".js" extension rather than ".script". E.g.:</p>
|
|
<div class="highlight-default"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>$ nano foo.ns
|
|
$ run foo.ns -t 100 arg1 arg2 arg3
|
|
exec("foo.ns", "purchasedServer1", "100", "randomArg");
|
|
</pre></div>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<p>The caveat when using NetscriptJS to write scripts is that your code must be
|
|
asynchronous. Furthermore, instead of using the global scope and executing your code
|
|
sequentially, NetscriptJS uses a <code class="code docutils literal"><span class="pre">main()</span></code> function as an entry point.</p>
|
|
<p>Furthermore, the "Netscript environment" must be passed into a NetscriptJS script through
|
|
the main function. This environment includes all of the pre-defined Netscript functions
|
|
(<code class="code docutils literal"><span class="pre">hack()</span></code>, <code class="code docutils literal"><span class="pre">exec</span></code>, etc.) as well as the arguments you pass to the script.</p>
|
|
<p>Therefore, the signature of the <code class="code docutils literal"><span class="pre">main()</span></code> function must be:</p>
|
|
<div class="highlight-default"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="n">export</span> <span class="k">async</span> <span class="n">function</span> <span class="n">main</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">ns</span><span class="p">)</span> <span class="p">{</span>
|
|
<span class="n">ns</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">print</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s2">"Starting script here"</span><span class="p">);</span>
|
|
<span class="n">ns</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">hack</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s2">"foodnstuff"</span><span class="p">);</span> <span class="o">//</span><span class="n">Use</span> <span class="n">Netscript</span> <span class="n">hack</span> <span class="n">function</span>
|
|
<span class="n">ns</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">print</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">ns</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">args</span><span class="p">);</span> <span class="o">//</span><span class="n">The</span> <span class="n">script</span> <span class="n">arguments</span> <span class="n">must</span> <span class="n">be</span> <span class="n">prefaced</span> <span class="k">with</span> <span class="n">ns</span> <span class="k">as</span> <span class="n">well</span>
|
|
<span class="p">}</span>
|

</pre></div>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<p>Here is a summary of all rules you need to follow when writing Netscript JS code:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><p class="first">Write <code class="code docutils literal"><span class="pre">await</span></code> before any call to the following Netscript functions:</p>
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<div><ul class="simple">
|
|
<li>hack</li>
|
|
<li>grow</li>
|
|
<li>weaken</li>
|
|
<li>sleep</li>
|
|
<li>run</li>
|
|
<li>exec</li>
|
|
<li>prompt</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</div></blockquote>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><p class="first">Any function that contains <code class="code docutils literal"><span class="pre">await</span></code> must be declared as <code class="code docutils literal"><span class="pre">async</span></code></p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><p class="first">Always <code class="code docutils literal"><span class="pre">await</span></code> any function that is marked as <code class="code docutils literal"><span class="pre">async</span></code></p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><p class="first">Any functions that you want to be visible from other scripts must be marked with <code class="code docutils literal"><span class="pre">export</span></code>.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><p class="first"><strong>Do not write any infinite loops</strong> without using a <code class="code docutils literal"><span class="pre">sleep</span></code> or one of the timed Netscript functions like <code class="code docutils literal"><span class="pre">hack</span></code>. Doing so will crash your game.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><p class="first">Any global variable declared in a NetscriptJS script is shared between all instances of that
|
|
script. For example, assume you write a script <em>foo.ns</em> and declared a global variable like so:</p>
|
|
<div class="highlight-default"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="o">//</span><span class="n">foo</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">ns</span>
|
|
<span class="n">let</span> <span class="n">globalVariable</span><span class="p">;</span>
|
|
|
|
<span class="n">export</span> <span class="k">async</span> <span class="n">function</span> <span class="n">main</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">ns</span><span class="p">)</span> <span class="p">{</span>
|
|
<span class="n">globalVariable</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="n">ns</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">args</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">length</span><span class="p">;</span>
|
|
<span class="k">while</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">true</span><span class="p">)</span> <span class="p">{</span>
|
|
<span class="n">tprint</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">globalVariable</span><span class="p">);</span>
|
|
<span class="k">await</span> <span class="n">sleep</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="mi">3000</span><span class="p">);</span>
|
|
<span class="p">}</span>
|
|
<span class="p">}</span>
|
|
</pre></div>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<p>Then, you ran multiple instances of <em>foo.ns</em>:</p>
|
|
<div class="highlight-default"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>$ run foo.ns 1
|
|
$ run foo.ns 1 2 3
|
|
$ run foo.ns 1 2 3 4 5
|
|
</pre></div>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<p>Then all three instances of foo.ns will share the same instance of <code class="code docutils literal"><span class="pre">globalVariable</span></code>.
|
|
(In this example, the value of <code class="code docutils literal"><span class="pre">globalVariable</span></code> will be set to 5 because the
|
|
last instance of <em>foo.ns</em> to run has 5 arguments. This means that all three instances of
|
|
the script will repeatedly print the value 5).</p>
|
|
<p>These global variables can be thought of as <a class="reference external" href="https://www.tutorialspoint.com/cplusplus/cpp_static_members.htm">C++ static class members</a>,
|
|
where a NetscriptJS script is a class and a global variable is a static member within that class.</p>

<h2>Warnings<a class="headerlink" href="#warnings" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
|
|
<p>The NetscriptJS evaluation engine works by converting your code into a blob URL and then
|
|
using a dynamic import to load your code as a module. Every unique NetscriptJS script
|
|
is loaded as its own module. This means that
|
|
making a small edit to a NetscriptJS script results in a new module being generated.</p>
|
|
<p>At this point, we have been unable to find a method for deleting modules from browsers so that
|
|
they get garbage collected.</p>
|
|
<p>The result is that these modules from NetscriptJS scripts accumulate in your browser,
|
|
using memory that never gets released. Over time, this results in a memory-leak type
|
|
situation that can slow down your computer.</p>
|
|
<p>Therefore, there are two recommendations for those who decide to use NetscriptJS:</p>
|
|
<p>1. Every now and then, close and re-open the game. This will clear all of the modules.
|
|
To be safe, I recommend <strong>completely</strong> closing the game's tab and then re-opening it.
|
|
Depending on your browser, a refresh or page reload does not always clear the modules.</p>
|
|
<p>2. Only use NetscriptJS scripts when needed. It is very unlikely that NetscriptJS
|
|
is needed for very simple scripts. By doing this, you will reduce the number of modules
|
|
that are loaded.</p>
