It was written in neatly written javascript. It was already open source. :P


True, it was already source-available. That was already quite nice, especially because it meant I could fulfill my completionist urge by reading the source code to see everything that could've happened.

The change here is that it's been GPL'd, so you could (legally) build another game using parts of it if you wanted.

That's not what "open source" means.


It was however minified for at least some time. Which made me sad because it greatly limited my abilities to easily cheat.

(I did beat it without cheats but that took quite some time)


I was wondering if all the people that finished the game in less than 4 hours in the other thread were cheating or if I missed something.


I'm not sure if this is cheating, but I set auto-clicking on the buttons with the console and left it open in its own tab so that I could do other things while my minions created steel. Certainly my time spent was considerably less than 4 hours.
