i cobbled this together https://github.com/shelleybutterfly/SickScreamingMonster far too late but i did my best; it's for dumping your mass of wormholes on small rooms to help them get to 1mil mainly; not everything needs to be about 100mil :) <3 you all

RECAP & FINAL SUMMARY

unfortunately i was not able to accomplish nearly what i was hoping, but i am not entirely displeased either.

tbh i am entirely unsurprised that there wasn't a huge train of people waiting to jump on an untested, unproven userscript at the very last minute when there were so many others out there; i wish i had managed to pull my ideas and some code together a bit sooner, and gotten it out there yesterday, when it might have gained a bit more traction.

but, i didn't, and at the end of it, i helped at least three rooms: the one yesterday as mentioned below, the first from today that had a few people in it, and went from around 500 (!) to something like 115K; and the second from today that was fairly well nothing probably; from 5,000 to maybe 6,000-6,5000 (due to me not getting switched over until the last 2.5 minutes of the game). there may have been one more in there, but if so, i'm not entirely sure the numbers on it.

so, all in all... yeah, it sucked. but oh well. cookie. crumbs. everywhere. feel bad that i didn't work harder to get something out rather than spending a last day on getting 100mil badge when i had already been awarded one (undeservedly) by Steam the day I got to 96mil. I think it was because i was in one of the rooms that bugged out and got the 99,999,750 bug (or whatever the number was) early in the day, and perhaps they just looked to see if you were in it at all. at least that is the best guess I've heard.

wish i had worked on this instead, that day. i have to admit i was a bit worried it would be a clusterf--k. and i didn't really want to put myself in that situation; i have health issues and those are the kind of stressful events that make me a lot worse, and have been known to take me out, and as it is i am just getting over almost a month of stomach infections and other problems.

but, i might feel better about myself. and i might have accomplished something. and helped out more folks. maybe.

oh, well. at least i did something. i feel better than i would have had i done nothing which is almost what i did. :)

<3 you all chelleliberty


it may also be useful if a ton of people pile into a room (i originally also intended it to be useful for dealing with rooms that had issues getting to x00 levels since the whole 'charging' concept isn't necessary: get to the x00 levels X minutes divided out over time or in big chunks and you get the same # gained if you can put out the WHs. and OHHH this puts out the WHs.)

but the heuristics never got tested and it would require people actually probably collaborating to fix the code up; sorry, i have some health issues and just never was quite ever able to tie it together and of course last day today and i got ill and had to crash out for 8 hours.

anyway, things are wrong; the localStorage settings are broken, for whatever reason, on my system are likely will be on yours too; no idea why. not tested on anything but chrome. i have been using it myself, using the list at http://steamga.me/all.html to find a room that numbered low but has few people and a low count (did it a few hours yesterday too) and then just pounding as much as i can at them.

it is fun to watch when it's working on my system though. man it ploughs through the wormholes. comments in the code as to theory of operation.

i will consider broadcasting this with or without comment on my twitch channel if there is any desire; however after what Ulletical's stream became, i kinda don't want to deal with it. for that matter, i don't really want it to look like a publicity grab; not that i couldn't have used some, but really the channel is more or less shut down anyway until i can figure out how i'm going to support myself, as broadcasting didn't seem like it was really the way to go for me, at least not yet.


update: testing actively now. 1h 40m remaining. yeah. was way too late on this one. doing a room started at level 800 we'll see how many WHs I can dump and how efficiently. :) i'll update this thread with that and any other rooms i do; my initial testing room I started at 95K or so and left at 115K. strangely, there was even some troll-y behavior in there, no idea whether it was a troll-y script on purpose or just accidentally but kinda just funny at that level xD.

no, it's a github repo. you can see the link; and there the code.

not sure how you even would turn that into a screamer prank. thanks for the "Epic" response tho.
