Two issues to look at here:

  1. One morning I woke up to a message that casino.js failed to run because we are out of money. This happened because we were studying while heading to the casino. I could have sworn I had code which stopped any player actions before heading to the casino, but I might have missed something. so we should double check.

  1. If casino.js runs into this scenario (or any error scenario after having killed all scripts) and cannot proceed, it should be running the "on completion" scripts to restart autopilot.js so we can recover from debt and try again later.

Simple problem caused by an unfortunate sequence of events:

  • autopilot.js launches daemon.js
  • autopilot.js launches casino.js once it has 250K
  • daemon.js starts studying for hack exp
  • casino.js kills all other scripts to avoid being interrupted (autopilot, daemon,...)
  • player is still studying, money goes below 200K
  • casino.js cant travel anymore and fails
  • no more scripts are running, player is still studying

#436 - Also kill daemon.js before running casino.js to avoid study debt

- I believe the current source of this bug is a race condition with daemon.js choosing to study just after autopilot runs stopAction. Hopefully killing it prevents this situation.
- Also increased the buffer slightly
