Originally published October 28, 2016 In Part I [https://www.sirpinski.com/the-math-of-idle-games-part-i/] of this three-part series, we looked at some of the standard math behind rapid-growth idle games, primarily at the relationships between exponential and polynomial growth and some methods of
The Math of Idle Games, Part III
Originally published January 12, 2017 This three-part series is intended to break apart my MIGS 2016 slides [http://www.slideshare.net/AnthonyPecorella/the-rise-and-rise-of-idle-games-68916528] into what are hopefully detailed but accessible angles on the math and mechanics behind idle and incremental games. The
The Math of Idle Games, Part I
Originally published October 4, 2016 I’ve given a few talks in the past about the appeal and general mechanics of idle games, but what if you actually wanted to make one? Theory and patterns are nice, but there’s some complicated math running behind it. And how on earth

Kittens Game - a Dark Souls of incremental gaming
Has an AI discovered new maths?
For something so important for applications (arguably moreso than the forward Game Theory problem), I was surprised at how scattered are the resources to learn about it. Feels very jagged. Started a semble collection: semble.so/profile/mptouzel.bsky.social/…! Will add more later. Please consider adding as well!
