Ever since our last post on the wildy popular cat clicking browser game - Popcat.click, our country has proudly shot up the leaderboard originally being the last of the top 10, up to a highest position of 2nd place. So, what has happened since then?
#New Contender
We were miles ahead of the rest of the pack and so close at taking down the previous champion - Taiwan, but what none of the countries saw coming was the power of the Thai people. In just a short few days, Thailand has shot past all countries and claimed victory (for now).
As of the time of writing, they are marginally ahead, but seeing with a Pops-per-Second (how many total clicks are there every second) that is almost double the Taiwanese, they'll soon be out of reach. Are we always doomed to be bronze? :(
#Free Food
As with any popular happenings in Malaysia, brands are not afraid to take this opportunity for some marketing. Many companies have promised to offer free food and drinks if and when Malaysia gets to number 1. Here are some you can find:

#I Learned To Code?
With the introduction of any game, comes a bunch of people who will try to find ways to make it easier to "win". Most of the time, these methods are know as "cheats" or "hacks", but in the case of Popcat, can you really call it "cheating" if you're not actually winning anything?
Anyway, a number of people have been putting out scripts on GitHub, which are essentially computer codes that will automatically help you click on Popcat. So, here's one of these codes and you could take this opportunity to learn a little about how websites are written using a programming language called Javascript.
var event = new KeyboardEvent('keydown', {
key: 'g',
ctrlKey: true
});
setInterval(function(){
for (i = 0; i < 1; i++) {
document.dispatchEvent(event);
}
}, 100);
How To Use:
1) Open up your web browser (like Google Chrome) and tap F12.
2) A panel should appear on the right, go to the bottom and find the blue arrow.
3) Copy and paste the code at the blue arrow and press 'Enter'.
4) Refresh your browser to stop it.
What It Means:
Essentially the first 3 lines are creating an "event" where the code "presses down" on a key on your keyboard. The next couple of lines makes the event run.
}, 100); - you can change this number (in miliseconds) to control how many seconds the code waits between each run. 100 means the code will run the event once every 0.1s. 1000 means it will run the event every 1 second.
i < 1; - you can control the number of clicks the computer does at every run. 1 means it clicks once, then waits for the next run. 100 means it clicks 100 times, then wait for the next run of another 100.
Try editing the numbers and see if you can understand it better. If not, just use the original code provided (click once every 0.1 seconds) and see if we can get to gold eventually!
