Ok, so I can hold off on the shop until later, it can actually be ignored and does not disappear if you don't take it. So, that's ... decent.


The "You get an extra choice of doors" never actually seems to do anything, and even if it did, ... you still have to go through them all.


It would be nice if the shop keeper, other than giving you a warning about the shape changing nymph, might actually give you some helpful advice? Or, is her "the only winning move is not to play" supposed to tell us that we are doomed before we start? :-)

First, a bug -- reaching the "end" with the paladin (made it to "this is where level 2 would be"), my inventory was not cleared out on the next restart, and I got error messages when looking at the inventory.


Second, if I have the ruby ... what can I do with  it? The shopkeeper doesn't want it. And the shop ... it comes too early, it feels -- all the money I get later is no good, and I can't afford the things when I do get there.


Third ... is there a way to avoid respectful address or happy thoughts? I've gotten those each time so far, and the "Miss" is in the first thing you say to her. They cause me trouble later.


And fourth ... ugh. I had two resolve, plenty of room for lust, I had used an item to increase my resistance, and in the grotto ... once I said "stare" at the pool, I had no other options/choices and had already "lost". I felt cheated.

Attempting to run this tells me:

 The application requires macOS 10.13 or later.

Given the horribly user-unfriendly nature of 10.13 and later (forced reformatting of your internal SSD in 10.13; forced reformatting of your boot drive regardless in later version; all in the name of a newer, better file format that is 100% non-compatible with any other OS. Many areas of "I'm sorry user, I can't let you do that". Etc), can you please recompile for older (please at least as far as 10.9, although I know some people will have stayed at 10.7) systems?


If you are not aware: Apple has consistently broken compatibility, or removed abilities that users have, or introduced horrible new system-level disasters, at each upgrade. 10.7 actually let you use all your system memory for your programs -- imagine wanting to have a minecraft server, a minecraft client, a video/screen recorder for youtube editing, and a livestream to the group you're playing with. 10.7 can do that, no problem; 10.9 insists that compressed swap held in memory is more important, and won't let your memory hungry programs get memory. And 10.10 decided to break all old device drivers, including audio routers that would let all this sound redirection work. (Hmm ... that's the same tool that *could be* used to save audio from a DVD or web playback with a video recorder capturing the screen -- since it could be used to break copyright, we must prevent it from any functionality?)


(My current hardware cannot run anything older than 10.9, and anything newer is useless for streaming / recording when you include game sound.)

Ugh. "Save" does not work. There is an auto-save, but it is slow and ... does not happen often enough.

So I think I have observed a pattern in the behavior of the multiplier. It seems that it goes up a fixed amount every game loop, but goes *down based on time* -- i.e. -- if the browser is running slow, you want to keep user progression, so you calculate the "missed frames". And you drop the multiplier down for the longer time period, but only add in *one frame* worth of addition,  rather than as many frames were skipped.


Repeat by: Do something that causes browser lag / graphical update issues while in the 4x zone. The increased rendering takes longer, and it slows, and your level drops. And at the 3x zone, the rendering is faster, and it catches up.


EDIT: I found a way to get this exact same behavior when the tab is "backgrounded" -- without any clicking or window activity, when I bring the tab to the front, the bar (which had dropped to the middle of 3x) climbed back up.  So yes -- it seems to be "subtract based on time since last cycle, add one unit regardless of time."

Upgrade 7 (which adds to e) does increase the calculated A, but does not increase the displayed "e".

The bottom of the play screen shows my Z and delta-Z, and the values for 4 greek leters. But the box they are in has no bottom, and there's no function for delta Z shown. This holds no matter how much I shrink my browser display scale.

I cannot figure out why I can sometimes get up to 5x, and sometimes I can only get up to 4x. And other times it wants to move back and forth between the 3x/4x division line.

I just did a reset for T, and instead of getting the just over 50 T I was expecting, I got zero.


No T gain. All my P purchases gone. My P is not zero; it's what I would have had if I had done a P reset (so better than nothing). But ... all my P purchases gone, and no T to show for it? Ugh...


EDIT: My Z purchase of delta-K has been reset to only 1 purchase of it.


Can we *please* get an auto-save just before a prestige takes effect? So we can reload if we don't like how the prestige works?
