The original game can be found at http://orteil.dashnet.org/cookieclicker/

This mirror for, errrr, like, educational purpose, either to download for your own offline education or to be played online from http://ozh.github.io/cookieclicker/ if you cannot "educate" yourself on the original URL

How to update

If the original game updates, here is how you can update the mirror:

1. Fetch all new images :

From the root,

Set up user agent:

  • USER="Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/118.0.0.0 Safari/537.36"

  • cd img/

  • wget --user-agent="$USER" --convert-links -O index.html http://orteil.dashnet.org/cookieclicker/img/

  • grep -v PARENTDIR index.html | grep '\[IMG' | grep -Po 'a href="\K.*?(?=")' | sed 's/\?.*//' > _imglist.txt

  • wget --user-agent="$USER" -N -i _imglist.txt -B http://orteil.dashnet.org/cookieclicker/img/

2. Fetch all new sounds :

Similarly, from the root :

  • cd snd/
  • wget --user-agent="$USER" --convert-links -O index.html http://orteil.dashnet.org/cookieclicker/snd/
  • grep -v PARENTDIR index.html | grep '\[SND' | grep -Po 'a href="\K.*?(?=")' | sed 's/\?.*//' > _sndlist.txt
  • wget --user-agent="$USER" -N -i _sndlist.txt -B http://orteil.dashnet.org/cookieclicker/snd/

3. Fetch all new translations :

Similarly, from the root :

  • cd loc/
  • wget --user-agent="$USER" --convert-links -O index.html http://orteil.dashnet.org/cookieclicker/loc/
  • grep -v PARENTDIR index.html | grep '\[TXT' | grep -Po 'a href="\K.*?(?=")' | sed 's/\?.*//' > _loclist.txt
  • wget --user-agent="$USER" -i _loclist.txt http://orteil.dashnet.org/cookieclicker/loc/

4. Update js and html files :

From the root directory :

  • Fetch the updated index.html file: wget --user-agent="$USER" -O index.html http://orteil.dashnet.org/cookieclicker/
  • Fetch the updated style.css file: wget --user-agent="$USER" -O style.css http://orteil.dashnet.org/cookieclicker/style.css
  • Fetch updated js files : wget --user-agent="$USER" -i _jslist.txt -B http://orteil.dashnet.org/cookieclicker/
  • Scan index.html for any new <script src and also main.js for any new local javascript (eg Game.last.minigameUrl). If there are new scripts, update the _jslist.txt accordingly.
  • In main.js there is a nonfunctional URL we need to change:
    • Find DataDir=window.location.origin+'/data/';, and change to DataDir='https://orteil.dashnet.org/data/';
