## What it is
Bitburner is a programming-based incremental game with hacking and cyberpunk themes, where players write JavaScript/TypeScript scripts to automate in-game hacking activities. This repository contains the game's TypeScript source code, with builds available on the web and Steam.

## Use cases
- play a hacking-themed incremental game in the browser
- learn JavaScript and TypeScript through gameplay
- automate in-game hacking with custom scripts
- contribute to an open-source game's codebase
- extend or modify the game engine
- read generated API documentation for the Netscript scripting interface

## When to choose
- you want an educational game that teaches programming through automation
- you enjoy incremental/idle games with deep scripting mechanics
- you want to contribute to or fork an open-source TypeScript game

## When to avoid
- you want a polished commercial game without programming
- you need a traditional game with no coding involved
- you need a permissively licensed codebase (license is non-standard)
