FFXIV Cactpot Solver
This repository contains a simple, straightforward optimization algorithm
for solving the Mini Cactpot game in Final Fantasy XIV.
As brute-forcing expected value for a 3-by-3 grid is not exactly a difficult
problem, this is implemented entirely in JavaScript and deployed as an
entirely "static" website.
For Normal People
If you just want to optimize your daily Mini Cactpot ticket, you do not
need to do anything with this repository. Just use the actual site.
You only need to be looking here if you want to work on the code.
Running this Thing
This application can be deployed to an Ubuntu server using Ansible:
ansible-playbook -i INVENTORY_FILE -v provisioning/playbook.yml
Note that you will need to create an Ubuntu server as well as an
inventory file.
For development work, use of Vagrant is recommended, and a Vagrantfile
is included.
