Timeline

This page is basically the equivalent of the Bible on this wiki, so as such I'll name the chapters as Bible books!

## Chapter 0: Genesis 1-3

In case you didn't notice this is Chapter 0, this chapter is about before the wiki even existed. Because I'm lazy, have a copy and pasted Fake cookie clicker section.

### Copy and pasted FCC page section.

On November the 19th, 2021, the creator's teacher didn't allow them to play the real Cookie Clicker so they thought "What if I make it myself" and that is the origin story of this game. On the same day, a "pre-prerelease" build was created that only had the cursor and big cookie.

The next day, the actual pre-release was made adding the grandma and the farm. It was also advertised on the real Cookie Clicker wiki.

A week after that on November the 27th, a new build was made adding the mine and fixing a bug. That was also advertised on the real Cookie Clicker wiki.

On December the 7th, update 2.0 was released! You'd expect it to be more exciting but it just added the golden cookie and changed the colours of the background.

To add even more unexcitingness to the last update, that golden cookie didn't even work, but that was fixed the next day. But not before Jaydar made a post on the real CC wiki that read like this: *Did an oopsie on my latest fake cookie clicker update + planned features besides buildings*

I recently added the golden cookie, but I only just noticed today that it doesn't actually do anything lol (will fix later)

As for the miscellaneous features that I know should be added, I have:

"Saving"

Naming your bakery

Achievements

Upgrades

No exact dates on any of these misc features, just a small update on what's coming in the future of fake cookie clicker, and a funny story about me being an idiot. If anyone wants to know more about how I noticed my mistake on the Golden Cookie, lemme know, and I'll explain in the comments. The conversation after that read like this:

*Someone: Wow, that's really cool that you have a talent like that, not many people do. Good job and keep up the great work*

Jaydar: oh, i made it in scratch

That guy: Still very impressive

Jaydar: yep, hoping to learn **javascript**, then HTML5, then C++, but there's a literal blue-moon chance that I learn x86 assembly, because why not.

The other one: I know nothing about codeing but i do know what stonks are lol

Getting back to the updates, it was too powerful, so that had to be fixed the next day.

On New Years Day, a new update was created that added the factory and nothing else. Except a brilliant post from Jaydar on the real CC Wiki, of course!

*Finally updated fake cookie clicker again!*

Sorry that it's been a while since last update!

I've just been busy enjoying the holidays with family.

Anyways, introducing a new challenger...

Not-A-Gear-Gear!

If you didn't see my previous posts about this project, the link is https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/604556847/

This is also the first recorded mention of a bug, the bug being the "Buildings don't work unless you click the flag twice" glitch.

**This is the end of the C&Psted section.**

## Chapter 1: Genesis 5-50

Unfortunately, this is the start of another copy and pasted section. My laziness knows no bounds.

### The CP&J Sandwich Section

On January the 13th, 2022, something very important happened. The FCC Wiki was thought of on a post, and it asked a simple question: Can someone help me make this wiki?

The next day was when A2A2tgt offered to help, and then became an admin on the wiki. On January the 14th, 2022, the FCC Wiki was actually created. The first comment on that wiki was made by Jaydario, with the beautiful comment that is very complex saying: *test*.

The conversation after that went like: *Grandmapocalypse7: Is this the first post? I will be following this wiki and I want to be a part of it when it's famous*

*Jaydar: yes it is the first post, keep the link to this post somewhere in case someone asks 2-3 years in the future. you might be able to brag about being an og*

The following day, Pocalypse said, even more beautifully complex than Jaydar's comment: *This is hillarious. Just wanted to say: FIRST* and then A2A2tgt pointed out the following day that they misspelled hilarious.

On the same day as Pocalypse's post, A2A2tgt asked: *Where do I play the game?* and Jaydar responded with: *On the main page, click the words "Fake Cookie Clicker".*

Also on that day, A2A2tgt made the page for the cursor.

The following day, Tigerking03 responded to a post Jaydar made that said *New page: Version History* by asking: *How do I become an admin?*

The conversation went like this:

*Jaydar: Do you have experience with wikis?*

Tigerking03: Yeah

Jaydar: OK here's admin

After that, A2A2tgt asked about the first bug mentioned on the wiki, which wasn't actually a bug and was the thing where there was only one cursor that showed up when you bought one. However, that was followed up by the first actual bug where buildings would only work if you clicked the flag twice or more.

Two days after that, Jaydar confirmed that the bug that A2A2tgt thought was a bug but wasn't a bug wasn't a bug.

The first poll was on January the 18th 2022, the same day. It simply asked how many glitches that people had found in the game. And the results were:

* 0 glitches = 40%
* 1 glitch = 20%
* 2 glitches = 0%
* 3 glitches or more = 40%

And since you can't get a multiple of 20% that isn't 100% by using numbers less than 5, this confirms that more than 5 people were active in the wiki at that time, just not posting.

The next post was also by A2A2tgt and reported some undescriptive text in the bugs, glitches, and janky behavior page.

The next post was by Jaydario and explained that the next update wouldn't be for a bit of time because of a lot of things. That is also the first recorded mention of Definitive Edition.

On the 22nd of the same month, Jaydario also expressed that they cared for the wiki a lot, and also mentioned the code documentation pages for the first time.

The next day, Jaydario had a dillema. They were working on the next update for FCC when they realized they didn't have enough room for the bank. They asked A2A2tgt for help on that and they said: *Do what the original game does and make the thing scrollable* to which Jaydar responded *I dunno*.

However, on the 25th of the same month, A2A2tgt made another poll about golden cookies. However, there were only 2 votes that time, from Jaydar and the poll creator. That confirmed that the wiki was less active than before. Then, the next day, Jaydar confirmed that Definitive Edition would exist. And then there was a 5 day long drought of Scratch related posts before A2A2tgt said: *Do you know how to cheat in the Scratch version?* to which the same 2 people voted Yes. Then, there was another 5 day long draught before Jaydar made a poll saying: *How good is the Scratch version?* and A2A2tgt said *It's okay* while Jaydar voted *I don't know what to think of it*.

Then there was a week long draught in both posts and Scratch related posts before the same person said that they would refer to this version of FCC as Fake Cookie Clicker Classic instead of the name of the franchise.

Then there was a 2 day long draught before A2A2tgt said: *I thought someone would add the factory page by now. I'd expect some new pages in the week but nope* and then the factory page was made on the same day by Jaydar, and then improved by A2A2tgt. Then there was a 4 day long draught until Jaydar mentioned it while saying that memes were allowed in general. Then, A2A2tgt made the Code documentation: Other page. Then, something exciting happened 2 days later: Jaydar made FCC for the game boy. Oh and also updated the README sprite for FCC Classic.

## Chapter 2: Exodus 1-???

This is the start of a new saga. The speedrun saga. However, this is not the end of the other saga. Which saga?

### THE COPY AND PASTE SAGA

Then, almost a MONTH later, A2A2tgt updated the pages for every building, including the ones in Scratch Edition. About 3 days later, Jaydar mentioned it when talking about speedruns for both games. 2 days later, Jaydar mentioned it when talking about speedruns for both games. Again. Then, on April the 23rd, Jaydar said they would try to set up the speedruns on Fake Cookie Clicker Classic instead of the newer version. The next day, Jaydar decided they would make the next update after a few months and implement saving into the game.

oh... that wasn't very lo-

### THE ENTIRE HISTORY PAGE ON DEFINITVE EDITON FOR NO REASON

On January the 21st, 2022, 7 days before DE released, a post by Jaydar stated these two important statements:

"Sorry, fans, but the next update might not be for a while!

You see, I'm juggling a lot of things all at once: School, homework, Scratch, this wiki, and now drums and **javascript learning**. So, until I have a break off school, I might not make any updates other than bug fixes."

AND

"P.S: If you're wondering if the whole "**javascript learning**" thing means that I'm going to make a **javascript edition** at some point, then my answer to you is "**maybe**"."

Those sentences made the idea for a new version of FCC, that would be known as... Hang on, we don't have a name yet. Let's see what the name is in the next chapter...

\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_

The confirmation that a new version of FCC would come came from this post 2 days before the game released. The post was made by Jaydario and they had low expectations for themself as they expected the alpha version to release by August the 7th. The post also said that they had other things to do than work on the game and that it might not release by August 7th.

Even before the game was created, they had conflicting opinions on the name of the game. There were 3 options that they had thought of:

* Faker Cookie Clicker
* Fake Cookie Clicker: Definitive Edition
* Fake Cookie Clicker: JavaScript Edition

Jaydar made a poll about the names and obviously, Definitive Edition won.

The next update about the game came 1 day after release on January the 29th, and that was the link to the first known prototype of the game when not counting the prequel/FCC Classic.

In that prototype, there was nothing but the big cookie and the cookie counter.

In the post however, there was a bit of information about the new version. It firstly says that the prototype was extremely rudimentary and after that, it answers a few questions. To emphasize that this is not the most serious thing in the world, we'll present it like this:

Question: So what is the name?

Answer: Definitive Edition.

Question: Is the hitbox of the big cookie accurate?

Answer: Not at all, it's a square.

Question: Will the old version get updated anymore?

Answer: Yes, it will, mainly because I don't want you morons to leave this game so that the wiki shrivels up and dies. However, since I know some of you other morons are excited for this new game, I'll focus on this more as a compromise.

Question: What about the upcoming features page? Will those features go into FCC DE?

Answer: Most of them will, it's D E F I N I T I V E Edition.

Bonus Question: If this is so rudimentary, how is it even a prototype?

Answer: Good question, it's more like a proof of concept.

But so far, there's nothing to make FCC DE a worthy opponent to the original one except maybe as a redesigned CpS test, but not as a game in anyone's eyes. Luckily, that will change...

\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_

On February the 5th, 2022, a post by Jaydar announced buildings in Definitive Edition. It showed a link to the post in Chapter 0 about how it took so long for the update to happen, but it also said that you could play the new beta there. Unfortunately, we can't preserve that history as every time a new update happens, it overwrites the previous update's code... unless you copy the code of the update every time it happens.

Anyway, there's nothing else from that post that is important. Onto the next...

The next post that is important was created 8 days after that and it said that it added the stats screen to DE. It also inttroduced the naming convention of the original being called "Fake Cookie Clicker Classic" instead of just "Fake Cookie Clicker".

However, on the same day, another post/another update happened. That update introduced the first upgrade and was followed by a less serious poll asking if people were excited for DE to be DonE. The post had 5 options:

* Yes
* Kinda
* No
* Not sure
* (See votes :\)

The results were a 50-50 tie between Yes and Kinda, with A2A2tgt voting Kinda and Jaydar voting Yes.

The next important post was the first one by A2A2tgt, and it simply read: I really liked making the upgrades page. You should make another upgrade jaydar

\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_

That doesn't seem too important by itself, but it was followed by a comment from Jaydar themself which read basically:

As I said in my post about DElays, life is busy so I think the first beta (currently I call DE an alpha) to be DonE in August. I will get to upgrades, updates, and other stuff soon, but life is busy. Meanwhile, we need to work on the code documentation pages for FCC DE, and also make a coDE DocumEntation page for upgraDEs. I can't do it myself either because I only have a tablet and Fandom DoEsn't like my tablet.

After that, they locked the post.

The next important post was also by A2A2tgt and was made on February the 19th, 2022. Again, the post wasn't the important bit as it just said:

*Made some more pages and updates to pages, get dethroned as the longest page version history.*

*I like updating code documentation pages.*

The following conversation followed like this:

*Jaydar: Also I'm working on a new upgrade right now.*

*A2A2tgt: Is it gonna be the **cursor upgrade**? Oh wait that's obvious*

*Jaydar: Yep. I might also add the **grandma**.*

*A2A2tgt: Also here's a thing you could do to differentiate this from Cookie Clicker a bit more, you could click a button to go into a minigame where the prize is a few more cookies.*

*Jaydar: I don't know, my motto is "Striving for Unoriginality".*

The first three comments are the most important ones as they confirm that we're getting close to the end of the chapter, because of the grandma.

On that same day, the cursor upgrade was finished and on the following day, A2A2tgt finished making updates to pages about that upgrade.

A quite less important post was also made by A2A2tgt and it read:

*Should there be a little wave of advertising this wiki? I mean, the only reason I'm even here is because you advertised on the real game's wiki...*

After that there was a conversation that read:

*Jaydar: A wave of advertising WHAT, though?*

*A2A2tgt: Definitive edition*

*Jaydar: maybe*

After that, the next post that was more important was a quick heads up by Jaydar that read:

*I'm planning to do some cleanup on DE's coDE this week as a winter cleaning upDatE so get ready to upDatE the coDE DocumEntation pages.*

However, that didn't happen because of the next important post, which was made on March the 9th 2022 about how the cleaning update would not happen for a bit because the ideas for cleaning up the code broke up the code.

After that, there was almost a month long wait between the last post and the next, on April the 8th, 2022. It said that achievements were added to DE. It also said that there was more information about them on their blog.

\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_

The day after that, Jaydar said that they thought it was enough time and that they would add the grandma to DE. This was quickly followed up by a comment from A2A2tgt simply saying: *ALRIGHT* On the same day, the speedrun saga started, starting with a different post saying: *petition to get fake cookie clicker definitive edition on speedrun.com*. It then said: *(I know this is in the memes category, but i do think it would be cool to get fake cookie clicker: definitive edition as a game on speedrun.com* It would be awesome to see some speedruns*.*

On the same day, A2A2tgt brought to Jaydar's attention the fact that the Grandma was really buggy with a poll that said: *Do you think there should be a big bug fixing update soon?* That was followed by the conversation here: *Jaydar: I'm so sorry that DE has become a janky, broken mess. I did a small patch to the game to fix a couple bugs. Should I just get rid of Grandma, since adding her was when everything fell apart?* *A2A2tgt: What I mean is that every so often there should be a big bug upDatE.* *A2A2tgt: ALSO DO NOT GET RID OF GRANDMA* *Jaydar: Aight, I'll check on the BG(a)JB (bugs, glitches, and janky behavior) page in ~1 week, maybe I'll do some fixing.* 4 POSTS IN ONE DAY? After that, Jaydar made a poll saying: *How buggy has your experience been with DE since V0.0005?*

* Bug-Free (total lie, though)
* Slightly buggy
* Buggy as an anthill
* Cyberpunk 2077

And the results were 100% Slightly buggy.

5 POSTS AND 3 BUG RELATED POSTS IN ONE DAY?

A2A2tgt made a post saying: *So I was making a page and had Fake Cookie Clicker running in the background...*And I noticed that even though I had 10,000 cookies baked and even 10,000 cookies in the bank, I hadn't got the achievement for it.

Bla bla bla conversation bla

*Jaydar: oh sorry, I didn't use >= for the achievement requirements, I'll go ahead and fix that*

change the requirement to be like ~10 cookies higher than your current all time cookie count

you shouldn't feel bad about changing the code when the game broke

6 PO-

Jaydar made a post saying: *Arright, I think I'm done patching bugs for the day, just to stop myself from going down a rabbit hole the size of Canada*

After that, there was a 3 day long draught before A2A2tgt said something not related to DE. Keep looking.

The following day, Jaydar said: *Should we work on making FCC and FCC DE Speedruns a thing?*

* Yes
* I don't really care
* No

*and the results were 50 percent Yes, and 50 percent I don't really care.*

The following day, A2A2tgt made a post about how Lowclick% 1M cookies in both versions took almost 4 months to beat.

The following day (following day count: 3), Jaydar made a post about how we'd have to wait a bit for speedrun.com leaderboards.

After that, there were a bunch of non DE related Speedrun related posts until the 21st of April, 2022, where A2A2tgt said: *I just added names to the updates on the Version History page*

I also got an idea for the achievement for getting maybe 10 grandmas, it'd be "Family business" Then Jaydar said: *Hmmm... sounds like a good name...*After all, every achievement name doesn't have to be a reference. *And A2A2tgt's suggestion made it into DE!*

On the same day, Jaydar basically said:

*Everyone is a good idea person here and that gives me an idea, I can make some advertisements on the real Cookie Clicker wiki, on both the wiki and DE's upDatEs.*

Then there was a 4 day long drought in FCC DE only related posts until the 25th, when A2A2tgt made a post about different code for different building CpS, which basically listed the code for every building CpS up until the wizard tower.

On that day, Jaydar also said *I'm learning how to make webpages interactive using DOM, so don't expect updates to both games too soon.*

I'm also thinking about making a version of FCC Classic with better graphics, but it won't replace the original.

The reason I'm learning DOM is so that there are scroll bars on the stats screen and other places, I'm worried that I'll add too many achievements and you won't see them all. I can also turn the graphics into images for space saving reasons.

Then, on the 1st of May, A2A2tgt made a question poll about which image was faked, not vanilla. The answer was A, and everyone picked A.

On the same day, the same person made a post about minigames and ideas for them. Then, on the 11th of May, Jaydar made a post about how they put the code of FCC DE on GitHub so that the code documentation pages weren't alone.

More versions were created, and eventually A2A2tgt decided to make a spin-off featuring the farm... if it worked.

And that is where we are today!
