To make this simpler, there is now a general-purpose util for getting
random bigints. I don't know if anyone else will use it, but it makes
this code simpler.
I also rejiggered the type-checking on contracts a little more, because
the previous refactor didn't quite catch all the mistakes that could be
made.
* MISC: Refactor coding contracts for type safety
This refactor does three things without any behavior changes:
* Adds type safety by introducing generic type parameters to the coding
contract definitions, so they can use concrete types instead of
"unknown". This also eliminates a bunch of boilerplate casts.
* Removes the unneeded CodingContractType class. We can use the metadata
type directly.
* Introduces a new hidden state to coding contracts. Instead of
generating and storing the data (which is what is shown to the user as
the problem's input), the state is stored instead. This allows
problems to (for instance) generate the answer up-front, and check the
solution directly against the answer, instead of needing to embed a
solver in the problem (which can then easily be ripped from the source
code).
For compatibility, state == data by default. I plan to make use of this
feature in a followup, but it is unused currently.
* Added new types for various file paths, all in the Paths folder.
* TypeSafety and other helper functions related to these types
* Added basic globbing support with * and ?. Currently only implemented for Script/Text, on nano and download terminal commands
* Enforcing the new types throughout the codebase, plus whatever rewrites happened along the way
* Server.textFiles is now a map
* TextFile no longer uses a fn property, now it is filename
* Added a shared ContentFile interface for shared functionality between TextFile and Script.
* related to ContentFile change above, the player is now allowed to move a text file to a script file and vice versa.
* File paths no longer conditionally start with slashes, and all directory names other than root have ending slashes. The player is still able to provide paths starting with / but this now indicates that the player is specifying an absolute path instead of one relative to root.
* Singularized the MessageFilename and LiteratureName enums
* Because they now only accept correct types, server.writeToXFile functions now always succeed (the only reasons they could fail before were invalid filepath).
* Fix several issues with tab completion, which included pretty much a complete rewrite
* Changed the autocomplete display options so there's less chance it clips outside the display area.
* Turned CompletedProgramName into an enum.
* Got rid of programsMetadata, and programs and DarkWebItems are now initialized immediately instead of relying on initializers called from the engine.
* For any executable (program, cct, or script file) pathing can be used directly to execute without using the run command (previously the command had to start with ./ and it wasn't actually using pathing).
Reverted ToastVariant back to an enum internally. Still exposed to player as just possible strings.
Changed all 1-line documentation comments to actually be 1-line. Moved some because they were not providing documentation for the thing they were trying to.
v0.51.3 - 2021-04-16 Y'all broke it on the first day (hydroflame)
-------
Passive faction reputation
* Reworked, from 1 rep / 2 minute. Now is a complicated percentage of the
reputation you'd gain working for them. It's not op but it feels a bit
more useful.
Netscript
* print/tprint now take any number of arguments.
* print/tprint will now print object as json.
* print/tprint now handle passing in an undefined argument properly.
Casino
* Cannot bet negative money anymore.
* Roulette max bet is a bit higher.
* Coin Flip has a small cooldown.
* All buttons reject unstrusted mouse events.
Documentation
* Changed a message that said nsjs only works on Chrome.
Bugfix
* hacknet.maxNumNodes now works for both nodes and servers.
* Fixed a bug where the popup boxes would contain data from previous popup boxes.
* .js files will also have the export async function boilerplate.
Misc.
* turned off autocomplete for the terminal text input.
* Fixed an issue on Windows+Firefox where pressing up on the terminal would
bring the cursor to the begining of the line. (Issue #836)
* Hacknet node names is easier to handle for screen readers.
* Money spent on classes is now tracked independently of work money.
* running coding contract from the terminal will display its name.
