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。

01

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.

02

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.

03

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.
