- 4. 4 Back in 2015... when I started using Javascript...
- 5. 5 Start Most size around ~9k to 10k Over 11k points
- 6. 6

- 9. Over the course of 3 months, 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 FARMING MONITORING OPS COORDINATING WORK/STUDY LIFE (EAT + SLEEP) Hours AVERAGE HOURS SPENT IN A DAY
- 10. 10 #1
- 11. How does the comms work? 11 Game client talks to server over WebSocket created with Socket.io 2.0 library. Socket.io libraries add extra features onto the plain websocket. Must use socket.io-client library. At the time of dev, socket.io- client v2.0 is only available in Javascript.
- 13. Messages have to be cleaned beforehand... 13 Messages are sent with an id field for game client to pair up requests and responses.
- 14. 14 Automate farming, data collection for BI Automate attack commands Customised to send out farm to barbs every 10 minutes Birds-eye view on whoโs growing and whoโs away
- 15. 15 https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-contrib-tribalwars2-gap Fed with data from a visual attack planner
- 16. Farming is automated. Leave attack script to run overnight if needed. Go to bed @ 11pm, and woke up at 7am ~8 hours sleep 16
- 17. Always had resources to grow and rebuild. Rose to rank #29 in world en6 17
- 18. Joined the #1 tribe, and won the world. 18 But even better...
- 19. 19 Got this message from a raging player in-game Created an emotional impact on another...
- 20. Started to add other features like: - Auto building - Auto recruiting - Auto reports reading/cleaning - CLI to play the game @ work 20 based on presets
- 21. 21 FATAL ERROR: JavaScript heap out of memory
- 22. 22 This bot was poorly architectured and needs to be rewritten ๐
- 23. 23 Since Dec 2018, started to improve the bot
- 24. 24 1. Supports RPC, pub/sub, fire-forget 2. PROD as CFโs MQ, CNCF incubating 3. Core covers at-most-once delivery 4. Lightweight, non-persistent MQ 5. Really easy-to-useTypescript library
- 25. I โค๏ธ Cloud Foundry 25 Beyond the basics with Cloud Foundry https://developer.ibm. com/articles/beyond- the-basics-with-cloud- foundry/
- 26. From building the visual attack planner, I really like Node-RED - See everything - Drag-and-drop It used everywhere, from home automation to multi vendorsโ IoT platforms. Large and active community! 26 https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-contrib-tribalwars2-gap
- 27. Future state 27
- 28. 28
- 29. 29 BPMN/DMN workflows Business Process Modelling Notation Decision Modeling Notation
- 30. 30 Human readable Machine readable Focus on process Less bugs to fix Dodge/Back-time flow
- 31. specification is standardised by the Object Management Group , to communicate business processes. 31
- 32. There are a many BPMN engines implemented. Free & open-source - Activiti - Camunda - jBPM Proprietary - IBM BPM (supports JS) - Red Hat Process Manager Choosing Camunda because itโs free. 32
- 33. 33 BPMN/DMN workflows Future: Encrypt messages for multi-tenancy AddTLS authentication to Node-RED MongoDBโs connector Inject trace messaging into each nodes by default
- 34. Project evolved from a simple game bot to... 34
- 35. An automation stack for the JS ecosystem. 35

Editor's Notes
- #3: Tribal Wars game drop down
- #6: Build your village
- #7: Recruit troops
- #8: Recruit troops
- #9: Attack neighbouring villages
- #10: Acquire more villages
- #11: World 61 (if he remember correctly)
- #15: Pull data, sending out farms automatically, writing an attack planner
- #22: Through rapid prototyping without thinking about the architecture or any design considerations, quickly I ran into this fatal error. There wasnโt enough refactoring I could do to fix this, thus prompting a complete rewrite.
