WEBVTT 00:00.240 --> 00:04.920 It's now time for the final project where we put everything into practice. 00:05.200 --> 00:08.520 Now, before I reveal the next message, just a word of warning. 00:08.840 --> 00:11.120 It has explicit content. 00:11.440 --> 00:18.040 If you are hungry, if you haven't eaten, if you are intermittent fasting like me, it might be worth 00:18.040 --> 00:19.960 skipping over the next image. 00:22.000 --> 00:28.160 Oh, but it does describe what we're going to do in this project. 00:28.160 --> 00:30.080 We're going to be baking some cookies. 00:30.520 --> 00:36.120 We're going to be playing the Cookie Clicker game, but we're not going to do it normally like a normal 00:36.120 --> 00:41.040 person, we're not going to go and click on our cookies and tirelessly end up with repetitive strain 00:41.040 --> 00:44.400 injury and play the game as if we're a human. 00:44.560 --> 00:49.120 No, we're going to play it using a Python bot created with selenium. 00:49.600 --> 00:56.600 So recently I've been looking on Reddit and there's a lot of posts talking about how addictive this 00:56.640 --> 00:58.160 Cookie Clicker game is. 00:58.400 --> 01:00.080 Why is this game so addicting? 01:00.320 --> 01:05.960 Cookie clicker ruined my life, and when you think about it, it's such a simple game. 01:06.640 --> 01:09.040 All it is is a big giant cookie. 01:09.080 --> 01:16.790 You click on it as fast as you can and once you've gotten a number of cookies, then you can buy certain 01:16.830 --> 01:22.950 upgrades like a cursor, which will click on the cookie automatically for you. 01:23.310 --> 01:27.670 And if you get even more cookies, you can end up buying other things. 01:27.710 --> 01:30.030 For example, once you have 100 cookies. 01:32.590 --> 01:36.950 You can buy a grandma which will bake more cookies for you. 01:37.710 --> 01:43.950 But we're not going to do it manually because I can physically not click at this rate. 01:44.070 --> 01:49.990 We're going to get our bot to decide which add ons to buy that make sense, and to buy as many of these 01:50.030 --> 01:51.870 add ons as we have money. 01:52.150 --> 01:56.590 And we're going to get our bot to continuously click the cookie to bake even more cookies. 01:57.070 --> 02:03.630 So the goal is we're trying to max out on this cookies per second rating, because the more of these 02:03.870 --> 02:09.910 add ons that you buy, the more often that you click on the cookie, the more cookies per second you 02:09.910 --> 02:10.710 can bake. 02:11.750 --> 02:19.910 So basically what we want to do is to not even touch our mouse and use selenium to play this game for 02:19.910 --> 02:20.190 us. 02:20.230 --> 02:24.350 And we're going to try and get some high scores by cheating basically. 02:25.190 --> 02:30.030 So the goal is to max out the cookies per second. 02:30.390 --> 02:36.750 And we're going to be playing this game by clicking on this cookie automatically using selenium. 02:36.990 --> 02:45.230 And once we've clicked for five seconds, we're going to see what is the highest value add on we can 02:45.270 --> 02:45.670 buy. 02:45.830 --> 02:49.350 And then we'll buy it to help us with the game. 02:49.710 --> 02:55.270 So the goal at the end of the day is we're going to run the program for five minutes, and at the end 02:55.270 --> 03:01.390 of the five minutes, we're going to check our cookies per second, and we're going to compete with 03:01.390 --> 03:06.830 each other on that number, because of course, you can get selenium to play the game in different ways. 03:07.190 --> 03:13.430 So what I recommend first before you get started with the project is just to head over to this link, 03:13.430 --> 03:19.910 which is in the course resources and actually play the game first as a human so that you can understand 03:19.910 --> 03:26.510 how it works and see how these add ons really help us improve our rate of baking cookies. 03:27.350 --> 03:28.270 Pause the video. 03:28.270 --> 03:30.030 Now head over to this link. 03:30.070 --> 03:34.950 Play the game for maybe five minutes, and then head over to the next lesson where there's the full 03:34.950 --> 03:37.750 instructions for how to complete this challenge.
