Where should boosts be?

[cursorweb]

There are currently two ways to obtain boosts:

• Through the shop
• Through items
  Here are the Pros and cons of both

Shop

Pros	Cons
Easy to access	Not really scalable
Items are organized	May need to refactor my code

Items

Pros	Cons
Easy to maintain	Not organized
Easy to interface with	Removes the idea of 'boosts' in general

@Codemonkey51 @FunnyLamma @alanlichen what do you think?

[alaninnovates]

I think you should be able to buy boosts through a new shop (just like the idle, cpp, text shops)

[darkdarcool]

I think maybe through random change after coding? And maybe do some sort of special challenge(or actually answer a fake repltalk question? I think that would be cool)

[cursorweb]

so you get them through coding? Like cookie clicker golden cookies? Seems like a good idea!

And for the challenges, yeah there should be like an ask command where you can do stuff for cycles

[darkdarcool]

yea, like maybe you can make so fake questions on some difficulty and see if they get it right? that would be cool.(and make different rarities of cookies)

[darkdarcool]

and if you get the ask question wrong there should be a punishment, like low self esteem or you start to second guess yourself as a coder

and @cursorweb, can we continue this conversation in the discord so we don't chat here?

[cursorweb]

sure
