The game updates the price and owned text at once but the affordable flag only at its next redraw, so a second purchase in the same visit used a stale flag. Buying at most one product per visit cut the failed purchases from about 40 percent to 1 of 49 and raised the CPS from 16.6 to 29 in the 300 second Docker run. README, screenshots and the wiki in en, da and ms show the new result. Task: MIL-006#1 Task: MIL-006#2 Task: MIL-006#3 Task: MIL-006#4 Task: MIL-006#5

Step 5: the five-minute run
🌐 English · Dansk · Bahasa Melayu
run_bot plays for 300 seconds in one loop: a burst of 20 clicks, then every second one visit to the store: upgrade crates first, then at most one product. At the end get_cps reads the cookies per second. The run in the screenshot reached 29 cookies per second with 29 cursors, 17 grandmas and 2 upgrades (the first release reached 16.6).

Function
while now - start < duration_seconds:
click_cookie(game, CLICKS_PER_BURST)
now = clock.monotonic()
if now >= next_store_check:
_buy_while_affordable(game)
next_store_check = now + STORE_CHECK_INTERVAL_SECONDS
What we gained
- One loop, no threads. The earlier solution used two threads and an extra package. One loop is easier to read, needs no extra dependency and is easy to test.
- Inject the clock.
run_botreceives aClock, so a fake clock tests a 300 second run in milliseconds. - Run the GUI in Docker. Headless Chromium in a container never takes your mouse or keyboard, and the screenshots and the log come out as files.
- Where to go next. Buy by cost per cookie per second and click the golden cookie: each is a new function behind the same ports.
