godot-monte-carlo-balancer

description

Use when auditing or recalibrating game balance: build a source-driven Monte Carlo balance lab (Rust + rayon) that extracts live game data, simulates human playstyles (AFK→pro), emits win-rate/economy verdicts with confidence intervals, and bruteforce-tunes parameters. Trigger on unfair levels, unreachable shops, farm exploits, interest-curve cliffs, post-content recalibration, or CI balance JSON diffs. Keywords: balance lab, Monte Carlo, win rate, difficulty curve, economy career, playstyle simulation, Resource extraction, GDScript parser, bruteforce tuning.

The Iron Law: Source-Extracted, Zero Config

No hand-copied numbers in the sim. Parse Resources / source at startup so the next run reflects designer edits.
