OK, I've been playing FoldIt for nearly two months now. I'm doing pretty well even if I'm still learning. It's hard separating game playing from the science. I'm mostly using scripts to get points and letting the science go except as needed to gain points.
Many puzzles get good score for beginners by using:
Show Allignment
Select best.
Repeat:
Shake Sidechains
Short burst of Wiggle Backbone
Repeat:
Wiggle sidechains
Slightly longer burst of Wiggle Backbone
Run Tlaloc's script Hydrophobe
Run Tlaloc's script Cataclysm
Run Tlaloc's script Repeat Settle
Run Rav3n_pl's Walkin' Rebuild
Some of the science comes later.
A journal of a FoldIt player's thoughts while learning to play the game and it's application to improving our lives.
Since this is a journal you may find starting from earlier articles helpful. I have covered a bit about the science, the FoldIT user interface, GUI recipes, and Script recipes. If you give me hints where I could be helpful I will focus in that general direction to my discretion. Currently I am going though the basic concepts of LUA script recipes. Once I get past intoductory LUA scripting I can start exploring the science of folding proteins by using LUA scripts.
