CERN Particle Clicker
- tarm 12y agoAwesome adaptation of cookie clicker: http://orteil.dashnet.org/cookieclicker/ http://orteil.dashnet.org/cookieclicker/
- azdle 12y agoThis reminds me a lot of candy box: http://candies.aniwey.net/ http://candies.aniwey.net/
- ISL 12y agoMighty fun. It'd be more realistic if you were in perpetual danger of running out of money and losing your hard-won work force.
- Svip 12y agoI imagine this to be the idealist world every researcher would love. Although, clicking and science comes out might seem strange to the public.
- therealmarv 12y agoRemember that this game was made on a weekend... really really impressive work for one weekend!
- kasperset 12y agoAngularjs
- kasperset 12y agoSorry, I was just excited to see Angularjs as one of the components to make this game.
- m_mueller 12y agoBeing in academic research currently, this is hilarious.
- hex- 12y agoSince we are linking are favorite "idle" games, I have to recommend A Dark Room: http://adarkroom.doublespeakgames.com/ http://adarkroom.doublespeakgames.com/
- webjames 12y ago'A Dark Room' is an excellent game, minimal interface and a widening world. Have you found anything else similar and of remark?
- mikexstudios 12y agoThis is really great! For spoilers, check out: https://github.com/particle-clicker/particle-clicker/blob/master/json/ https://github.com/particle-clicker/particle-clicker/blob/ma.... I enjoyed where the "Summer Students" ranked. For hacks, check out the "GameObjects.lab" object in the console.
- atmosx 12y agoIsn't this 'McDonnalds' ref a little bit insulting? :-/ https://github.com/particle-clicker/particle-clicker/blob/master/json/messages.json https://github.com/particle-clicker/particle-clicker/blob/ma...
- kdungs 12y agoThat is indeed very bad and offensive. We didn't notice somebody put it there without notifying the rest of the team. It will be removed immediately.
- _lce0 12y agoauto-clicker hack: var de = $('#detector-events'); requestAnimationFrame(function next() { de.click(); requestAnimationFrame(next); }); I know I know.. where is the fun, right?
- flebron 12y agoThat last "click" should be "next", clearly :)
- _lce0 12y agoups.. fixed ;)
- jfoutz 12y agoi thought adding an exponential increase on research was a little better, get some summer students and knock out that higgs boson 25. just clicking won't really buy you much when you need exabytes of data.
- atmosx 12y agoI never actually run JS code on Chrome console :-p that's really awesome ... Need to find some friends to poke now! :-)
- __john 12y agoMy version was var target = document.getElementByID("detector-events"); setInterval(function(){target.click();}, 100); I think I like yours better though.
- andzt 12y agoone liner: var interval = setInterval(function(){document.querySelector('#detector-events').click()}, 100)
- kdungs 12y agoHi all, this is Kevin from the Particle Clicker dev team. We made this game last weekend at the [CERN Webfest](http://webfest.web.cern.ch http://webfest.web.cern.ch). We didn't get much actual work done since then... Thanks a lot, this is really amazing but the game is far from perfect. We will release a mobile version soon. The code for everything is on [GitHub](https://github.com/particle-clicker/particle-clicker https://github.com/particle-clicker/particle-clicker) and we really need your help to make it better.
- pronoiac 12y agoHN doesn't allow Markdown, sadly.
- hliyan 12y agoI've been doing nothing but this for the past half an hour. One thing I'd like is to be able to assign my research fellows and post docs to the more exotic areas of research so that the data collected can directly go into those areas. Right now, it doesn't feel right that all data is interchangeable -- I can use the same data to research both the W & Z bosons and the bottom quark.
- kelmop 12y agovar z = angular.element(document.getElementById("detector-events")).scope(); for(var i = 0; i< 100; i++) { z.dc.click(); } //khihihihiiiii :D
- ozh 12y agoSo, all Cookie Clicker needed was a nerdy upgrade, right?
- kdungs 12y agoI think Cookie Clicker is actually perfect the way it is. We just abused the concept to try and sneak in some Physics ;)
- DanBC 12y agoAll you need to do now is add in some kind of sneaky hidden lite-coin mining and release mobile versions. EDIT: Obviously, don't do that. But I'm kind of surprised it hasn't happened yet.
- asinno 12y agoworse than heroin
- jarvist 12y agoThe main thing I learnt from playing this game is that we should have given up on High Energy Physics after discovering the Tau-lepton, and gone on to do something more productive with our time, money & human resources...
- duckingtest 12y agoSome easter egg, like opening a portal to another dimension and (perhaps) destroying Earth after 'too much' research on Higgs boson would be nice, I think.
- jwineinger 12y agoGameObjects.lab.detector.rate = 1000000 GameObjects.lab.reputation = 1000000 dc = document.getElementById("detector-events") setInterval("dc.click()", 100)
- bvttf 12y agobut don't hacked particles taste terrible?
- jwineinger 12y agoSure, but I'm just offering you a service so that you can get back to your normal life and be productive =)
- jwineinger 12y agoEven more cheaty: GameObjects.lab.data = 100000000000000 GameObjects.lab.money = 100000000000000
- kkamperschroer 12y agoYou can even just set them equal to Infinity. Win!
- sp332 12y agoI think the data/click tops out too early. I maxed out at 369/click and it's not even worth clicking after a while.
- kdungs 12y agoAgreed. We're working on the balancing.
- JelteF 12y agoCool game, but it's weird that you can Science is cool!!! lvl 7 before lvl 6 if you gather enough money.
- kdungs 12y agoYes, we're completely rewriting the upgrade mechanics.

- bagels 12y agoThis is a derivation of a derivation of Cow Clicker, which was made as a satire of Zynga games. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cow_Clicker http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cow_Clicker
- saganus 12y agoI love how summer students produce twice as much data as Nobel prize winners :)
