Perfect Tower II Mining Script at work -- don't mind the primitive drill, it's unupgraded yet.
~ * ~
For everyone else, Perfect Tower II (illustrated to the right) is an... unfinished, how shall we say this, alphaii tower defense game.iii
It's been in development for a year or two (it just hit the Steaming Pile Of Shit as an early release maybe last month) ; but it's interesting to me because it makes a very peculiar set of choices in terms of what to develop.
The graphics, for instance, are very much neglected (as you can see) ; whereas the interface level of access is extremely refined (as you can also see). I mean, there's an actual Basic Ada strap-on for crying out loudiv! I can script game activity to the level of peeling off layers and moving through tabs, and it's all natively supported.
Needless to say this is exactly the sort of balancing choice I tend to favour (and have been favouring systematically throughout Minigame's tenure, especially as seen in Eulora development). I happen to believe it's the right choice, because you can always paint later upon the many edges and panes of a well made game (even if that "later" never in practice comes) ; but you can never "make" a game out of a set of very expensive, elaborately hand-painted... paintings. And, most importantly at all, everyone must wait while the smartest are satisfied first -- always and everywhere FIRST, and always and thoroughly SATISFIED. If this should mean there'll be no resources left for "everyone else" left waiting in line, all the better. Nobody cares. Let all-but-the-smartest whither and die for lack of basics, I don't give a shit. Nor should you! Actually, strike that : nor may you.
Because the alternative, where "everyone gets the basics", results in atrocities like the present situation. Do you know there doesn't exist anywhere, google be damned, a workingv mining scriptvi for this year old game ? I had to make my own ; always and perpetually whenever I want something I gotta make my own, because nobody does anything useful, because everyone's way too busy jacking off and "helping everyone get the basics". Fuck that dumb shit.
Fuck that dumb shit with a red hot poker, the only interesting problem in the world is the complete satisfaction of the very best and nothing else matters.

What is this, the spurious machine spelling bee competition ?! (Check it out btw, Layer / LAYER.) But do you have any idea what wonders zip/deflate would do to it !??! AND WHY DO I KNOW THIS, GOD DAMN IT!eleventy
Anyway, if you wish to reproduce such wonders at home, it's not hard to do with all-standard tools :
echo "VGhpcyBpcyBzb21lIHRleHQu" | base64 -d | xxd
[↩]
- You know how "beta" means "a rough prototype that doesn't work but might illustrate the contemplated concepts for deeply specialized minds that are generously inclined" everywhere, yet in software "engineering" it somehow means "eh, ship it to production, whatever" ? [↩]
- Pro tip : don't use a skill point to get the Detector Mine skill. Just not worth anything (even if by level 30 or so you'll have spare points not worth using anyways). [↩]
- And no, THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH GOTO PROGRAMMING.
Yes, I know they insistently told you there is, and you ended up believing (just like you ended up believing there's something wrong with html's table element, or inline styling, or whatever the fuck else). Because back in the 80s it was the early age of human thinking, apparently, and you buncha simpletons simply believed what everyone insisted upon. Because "that's how it worked back in school", right, and d'oh, why's the world not simply school-continued, and thank you very much for ruining EVERYTHING because look now, 30 years later every last halfwit in existence is trying to nigger out of insisting in that manner (meanwhile called "consensus"). You had to ruin it, you buncha sheepcows. Didn't you!
Yet there's nothing wrong with goto programming (nor is "recursion" gonna earn you brownie "intelligent kid" points ; nor is it the right solution in every fucking context) ; and you really did ruin the world. [↩]
- Check out this nutfarm offering :
:global int atr_layer
:global int atr_index
:local int indexindex = atr_index
atr_index = atr_index + 1
gotoif(7, atr_index == 17)
execute("auto_tiler_recursive")
5: dig(index % 4, index / 4)
goto(5)
7: waituntil(atr_layer > 0)
8: newlayer()
atr_layer = atr_layer - 1
gotoif(8, atr_layer > 0)
goto(7)It's on the game site's own wiki, perfecttower2.com/wiki/AI_Script_Repository. It recurses (!), yet nevertheless can't peel layers or move tabs (!!!) and what the fuck holy shit. There's more cowpigfoot offerings on rettardit (apparently the gamedevs are byproducts of that cowpie fermenter) and they're no better! I spent five minutes searching and ten minutes writing, and this is the state of the world you've wrought.
Nothing for "everyone". Not even the basics. [↩]
- Speaking of "working" : mine has this interesting property that it doesn't start mining on tab 1, it starts mining on the current tab, whatever that is, and continues from there to the 2nd and so on in order. This is important because right after a tier-up, all the resources being depleted, the mine white box finds are the best means to kickstart the tower modules into higher gear so you can start making some serious resources TD-ing. This means you'll be depleting the first few 5-6 tabs (the one for which the dig cost was reduced all the way to 1) way before you can afford to dig the further ones out (and in particular the 1st tab you deplete to even get enough orange resources to get going in the first place). Notwithstanding the tenuous circumstances, nothing is lost with my script because it will happily dig your current tab whichever it is, and then you have plenty of time to stop it while it drones impuissantly on tab 2.
There's something to be said for "coding sloppiness", especially when that "sloppiness" matches underlying characteristics of the world. [↩]
