Kitten Game userscripts

Most of the published code assumes that Kittens Game has finished loading and is running properly before the functions are pasted into the console (or loaded in other ways). In many cases it won’t matter because the code is fairly self-contained, but in others trying to initialize the scripts before the page is ready will result in errors because it is looking for data that doesn’t exist.

Kittens Game uses two variables to store state information, game and gamePage, from what I’ve seen they are equivalent and I typically use the former for actual calculations. The latter however is not available until the page has finished loading so it will guarantee assets are in place.

Waiting for the variable to be defined ensures that everything is ready and won’t error out.

function run () {
    // Scripts go here
    ...
}

function start () {
    if (typeof gamePage != 'undefined') {
        run()
    } else {
        // Try every second to initialize
        setTimeout(start, 1000)
    }
}

start()
