This is such a good showcase of the limitations of AI to code. It works at first but as soon as you have to do anything more complicated it sucks and you have to either completely rewrite or understand the code and modify it to your needs anyway. Most of the time I've learned to just do it myself from the start.

[@_gameforcer]

If you can't understand the code AI gave you then you absolutely should either learn how it works or write your own code. That's a big IF though and it kinda shows a skill issue on your part. Because if you can understand AI code then you should have no problems either properly prompting AI to modify it or just quickly doing it yourself.

[@Kayow12]

​@@_gameforceryeah if you know how to code then you tell it each line or two properly and that'll still save a lot of time with accuracy

Plottwist, he found all items at day 7, but decided to remove this and say that he closed browser.

[@NoahBarrows-x8x]

Possible next steps: 1. Run it skipping any items containing numbers, since you don't consider things like "Shrek 728" to be novel items. 2. Try clearing after every 30 combinations or so instead of every combination to see if that makes it run faster.

As a programmer for 4 lazy years myself in JS, Python, and other programming languages, I detect a common skill issue here that we both have. Jokes aside that somehow helped me with my "own" code too and it was a good time watching so thanks man!

[@sculkyyOld]

The reason why progress slows down is probably because it keeps crafting old combinations that already have results

[@swaggceo]

Yeah that’s why there are bunch of cathulhu and other mess lmao

[@_kingston]

Could probably track for each item the index of the last item you tried to combine it with & keep incrementing index of item 2 until the number of items doesn’t increase & index of item 1 is 1 less than item2. Record index 2. Then increase index of item 1 by 1. Repeat until you are at end of combinations. Reset item 1 to 0 and set item 2 to that items max item 2 + 1. Keep repeating until no you iterate item 1 without increasing number of items

[@err0rz633]

I'm assuming there is a character length limit for the item names. Combined with the fact that there are a limited number of possible characters, this limits all the character combinations in the names which would limit the amount of items. So it indeed isn't infinite.

[@dadmitri4259]

why would there be a limit to the number of characters in an item name?

[@dadmitri4259]

oh wait. according to a stack overflow answer, javascript does seem to have some kind of maximum string size. of which is at least around 2^30 characters for most browsers

[@tipoima]

There is a limit, IIRC it's 32 characters, maybe bit less. Don't remember how it counts emojis or other non-standard characters. If the output would be longer than these, the elements just don't combine.
