Making a cookie clicker game but wanted some ideas ^^

[satanttin]

Hey folks,

Started again with autoit and what's better to learn some autoit with something fun?

anyways the things i have so far is:

1. Click for a cookie.

2. Cookie per sec.

3. 4 buyable upgrades 3 for CPS and 1 for additional cookies per mouse click.

next things i am planning to make is:

1. more upgrades.

2. better looking gui.

3. save/autoload and reset.

4. setting the decimal on 0,5. (idea from Blckpythn)

5. better upgrade costs

and the code sofar for anyone that want it is

expandcollapse popup

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>


Global $Value, $ValuePS, $LVal, $LValPS, $Click, $ValPS, $Buy01, $02buy, $03buy, $Upgradebuy, $buy01, $buy02, $buy03, $UpgradeClick

Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 1)

$Value = 0
$Click = 1
$BuyIncrease = 1.1
$01buy = 10
$02buy = 50
$03buy = 100
$Upgradebuy = 10000

    GUICtrlSetData($LVal, $Value&" cookies")
    GUICtrlSetData($LValPS, $ValPS&" cookies Per second")
 WEnd

feel free to give some ideas/tips to make it better^^

I like it, one thing I would change is the decimal increase in cookies. After only a few minutes I managed to get 74.89999999999 cookies. Maybe after the counter has reached 1.0+ cookies per second, remove the decimals from the current cookie count?

In fact, you may want to strip them entirely to avoid memory issues later.

yeah that's true i have to take a look into that might be a while don't got that much time to code and don''t know how to do it:P will add it to the list. think the lowest CPS is going to be 0.5
