#62I don't get it. The outcome doesn't seem to change, even if options are selected in a different order.

#63Boiling every experience in life to make it nearly meaningless and lack any glimpse of context will eventually become depressing and appear highly relatable to others. Someone get this man some help.

#64You just keep clicking on whatever links show up? I'm not catching the spark. But it reminds me of A Dark Room, which was excellent. http://adarkroom.doublespeakgames.com/
It has potential, but I had a hard time relating to my character. I need a lover as a teenager? And 2 broken hearts to stop being a teenager? And the only way to get experience is by losing friends.
At the point where I was farming friends solely so I could convert them into experience, I started questioning myself.

#65I wonder if I would have done better if I'd somehow acquired a Fedora early in life...

Is it possible that he is not the one who needs help?

#67Does this http://game.notch.net/drowning/packages/browser/dart.js actually run Dart? The home page looks like it has Dart scripts on a web page, but actually it does not?
No, that script looks for scripts of type "application/dart" in the page and then tries to find a compiled-to-JavaScript version of any scripts it finds by appending ".js" to them.
It looks like the actual Dart file hasn't been uploaded - which is sensible, in a way, since browsers don't natively supports Dart right now, with the exception of Dartium (?).

It is appropriate that relying on a static heuristic to point one's path leaves you unfulfilled, bitter, and dead.
I wasn't aware that clicking different things in different orders affected the outcome. I have just been clicking solve every time it comes up and not reading the captions.

I don't think it does.
Here's the relevant part of the (dart2js'd but slightly cleaned-up) code:

nope, that wont work at all. Even if you add jquery manually, this won't work at all. The correct one should be fireEvent = function(element){ var event; // The custom event that will be created if (document.createEvent) { event = document.createEvent("HTMLEvents"); event.initEvent("click", true, true); } else { event = document.createEventObject(); event.eventType = "click"; } event.eventName = "name-of-custom-event…
Quick to call someone stupid, aren't we? Did you even try his code? Go try it. Just because a site doesn't have jQuery, doesn't mean $ isn't assigned to anything.
Pretty sure cturhan did try jffry's code and that's why he wrote this code. The $ var on the page only returns the first instance that it matches so his code doesn't work.
A less efficient but shorter way is:
var interval = setInterval(function(){
var links = document.querySelectorAll('#problems a');
for(var z =0; zRe: Will you drown?
#70What a simple and profound game.... I hope Notch is feeling ok.
> I hope Notch is feeling ok.
That was my first thought, and I suspect that's not the case at the moment :-\
