This code implements a simulation of a gambling-like system where money is continuously bet in a random process, visualized as a graph drawn on an HTML <canvas>
element. Here’s a detailed explanation of what this code does:
-
Setup:
- The
<canvas>
element (with idgraphthatgenerallygoesup
) is used to draw a visual representation of how the money changes over time. - A
<t>
element (with iddisp
) is used to display text information about money, bets, and losses in real time.
- The
-
Initialization:
money
starts at 100,000, representing the initial amount.loss
tracks cumulative losses during the gambling process.tries
tracks the number of consecutive bets made.line
is used to keep track of the x-coordinate for plotting money changes on the canvas.highmoney
stores the highest amount of money reached during the simulation.highloss
stores the maximum observed loss.
-
Canvas Setup:
- The canvas dimensions are set to match the browser window's width and height (
window.innerWidth
,window.innerHeight
). - The variable
dots
is the context object for drawing on the canvas, with its fill color set to black (#000
).
- The canvas dimensions are set to match the browser window's width and height (
-
Betting Process (
endlesscycle
function):- A bet value (
bet
) is calculated based on the following:- If more than 3 consecutive bets have been made (tracked using
tries
), the bet is a larger value determined by the losses and fraction of the high money (loss*-2
,highmoney/4
), with a minimum of 100. - Otherwise, the bet starts at 4.
- If more than 3 consecutive bets have been made (tracked using
- A random outcome determines if the bet is won or lost:
- If
Math.random()
is greater than 0.5, the player wins and the bet amount is added tomoney
. - Otherwise, the player loses, and the bet amount is subtracted from
money
.
- If
- Adjustments are made to track high money and high loss:
- If
money
exceeds the previously recordedhighmoney
or drops below half of it,highmoney
,loss
, andtries
are reset. - Otherwise,
loss
increases by the amount of the bet, andhighloss
is updated if necessary.
- If
- The values of the current
bet
,money
, andloss
(andhighloss
) are displayed in the<t>
element with iddisp
. - A dot is drawn on the canvas to visually represent the change in money over time.
- The x-coordinate of the dot is controlled by
line
and divided by 10 to space out the points. - The y-coordinate is determined based on the difference from the starting money (100,000) scaled by a factor of 1,000.
- The x-coordinate of the dot is controlled by
- A bet value (
-
Simulation Control:
- The
endlesscycle
function is executed repeatedly via asetInterval
that updates every millisecond (1
). - If
money
drops below 0, indicating the player has lost all their money, the simulation stops by clearing the interval (clearInterval(wawa)
).
- The
-
Visualization:
- On the canvas, the changes in money over time appear as a fluctuating line graph.
- The vertical axis represents the amount of money, and the horizontal axis represents time (scaled based on the
line
index).
Summary:
This code simulates a betting process with simple rules and plots the results on a canvas in real time. The player's money increases or decreases based on random outcomes, and the simulation halts when all the money is lost. It also tracks and displays relevant statistics (current money, bet amounts, losses, etc.) on the webpage.
