- Abstract:
-
Cookie Clicker [http://orteil.dashnet.org/cookieclicker/] is a popular
online incremental game where the goal of the game is to generate as many
cookies as possible. In the game you start with an initial cookie generation
rate, and you can use cookies as currency to purchase various items that
increase your cookie generation rate. In this paper, we analyze strategies for
playing Cookie Clicker optimally. While simple to state, the game gives rise
to interesting analysis involving ideas from NP-hardness, approximation
algorithms, and dynamic programming.
