About

No downloads - "Bitburner
 is a programming-based incremental game. Write scripts in JavaScript to automate gameplay, learn skills, play minigames, solve puzzles, and more in this cyberpunk text-based incremental RPG."

Learn how to use programming logic to play the web browser version of Bitburner, a game where you act as a hacker and write scripts to maximize efficiency.

Programming skills covered:
- If/else statements
- Arrays
- Loops
- Recursion

We'll work from the ground up, so no coding experience is required. Even if you already know how to code, I'd still recommend trying Bitburner out with us because it's a really fun way to flex your programming/thinking muscles!

✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY

Office Hours are optional and a more chill opportunity for asking questions, debugging, or just getting more into the game in general.
