my cookie clicker modifications

2022-04-13

there are a few problems in the original cookie clicker that kept bugging me:

1. the website keeps going down because orteil hasn't changed his traffic-limiting web host yet

2. when the website is offline, or if i'm using a copy of cookie clicker, the heralds buff and custom grandma names go away

3. i can accidentally lose months' worth of cookies in 1 click due to a flawed buy mechanic

but i made fixes/workarounds for them:

i mainly play cookie clicker off of a local copy of the game, which i got from

=> https://github.com/ozh/cookieclicker

this copy has an outdated buildings.png so i got a new one from

=> https://orteil.dashnet.org/cookieclicker/img/

i hardcoded the heralds and custom grandma names to what they currently are based off:

=> https://orteil.dashnet.org/patreon/grab.php

and also console.log(Game.customGrandmaNames) on the web console of

=> https://orteil.dashnet.org/cookieclicker/

which i then minified using

=> https://duckduckgo.com/?q=minify+js

so i could fully get the benefits of the online version. orteil blocked cross-origin requests for /patreon/grab.php and server.php?q=checkupdate, so i didn't change the code for loading them.

i changed the buy mechanic to only work if there are enough cookies to buy # in bulk. i use "buy 100" and "sell all" a lot for the godzamok buff, but sometimes i accidentally click one more time than i wanted and then the game takes away all my money to buy 10 buildings. this is because the game will buy as many buildings as possible if there aren't enough cookies to buy 100.

i also added a buy max button because my edit removes the pseudo-"buy max" functionality "buy 100" originally had. i used 1000 as the amount because because it's the same number as the original "sell all" mechanic and it's unrealistic to have enough cookies to buy 1000 of one building in one go (costing a minimum of 15 vigintillion cookies) + i wouldn't sell my cursors for the godzamok buff since they're integral to my cookies per second.

the thing about cookie clicker is that the progession is ground to a halt past 90% of upgrades, which is around sexdecillion cookies. that's many powers of 10 away from the vigintillions. i'd have to dedicate myself to months or years of combos and waiting for months for enough sugar lumps to get very minimal boosts to get there.

i changed main.js to apply my modifications, instead of making a bookmarklet or userscript. but i might make one in the future.

one thing that was slightly crazy to me was how i didn't have to write var to create variables. felt like i was making up fake variables and every file, interpreter, code editor, etc. was just agreeing with them.
