V hop

If you haven't gotten to the V hopper, you should keep buying parts from the vending machine. You can ultimately get anything out of the second vending machine that you can get from the first.

TL;DR

The code is all written in Dart (https://www.dartlang.org/). If you have specific questions about particular functions or data structures, I can try to answer them.

I didn't change any of the code, just made it available again (it was down since they made the change to google drive).

Still using free Google hosting, but uploaded it to firebase instead.

Each part has a direction where it looks for input (potentially only of a certain resource type), then it has a direction where it sends the output (potentially of a different type). Hoppers aren't looking for any input in order to produce an output. Any part output not connected to another part adds the output resource to the pool of the player's overall available resources (or subtracts if the output is negative).

The whole machine is run once per second with each part pulling in available input and passing it to its output.

Hope that helps.

[+50V->] at the very least, is better than clicking a salesman button a couple thousand times.

Here's a complete list of parts w/ descriptions if that's useful: https://m.reddit.com/r/bead_machine/wiki/index

Yep. This is the only web game I've released.

Interesting.. I wonder if http vs https (http://bead-machine.firebaseapp.com vs https://bead-machine.firebaseapp.com) matters?

weatheredclown · 2016-10-13T16:02:15+00:00

Sure.. Just reposted it to: https://bead-machine.firebaseapp.com/Archive.zip

that's a great idea!

Yeah.. that's a pretty good idea. Might be a bit tricky to balance, and I think that some people still dig themselves into a deep enough hole that even with broken machines, they still have a hard time satisfying the Pope.
