ABOUT THE GAME
From a black terminal,
Step into the server network.
``Bitburner'' is a programming-based incremental game with hacking and cyberpunk themes. Terminalへコマンドを入力して周囲のサーバーを調べ、接続、解析、侵入を進めます。
OPEN THE SCRIPT EDITOR
Repetitive work,
Pass to JavaScript.
Executing the nano command in Terminal opens a JavaScript file in the Script Editor. At the bottom of the screen are the operations to save, return to Terminal, and execute, and on the right side you can check your money and ability values at the same time.

Check the network with Terminal command
Check the available commands with help, list the connection destinations with scan, and check the required hacking ability, number of open ports, and RAM with scan-analyze. Read the information and decide which server to connect to next.
Automate operations with JavaScript
When you create a script with nano, a JavaScript main function is prepared in the dedicated editor. Write code that uses in-game APIs and run saved scripts from the Terminal to handle repetitive tasks.
Proceed by accumulating money and ability values
Ability values including Money and Hack are displayed on the screen, and skills and progress can be viewed in Stats. We store the results of terminal operations and automation and expand the next server and activity.
