I may not be saying much, but I'm really hoping you beat walewang. I'll be very impressed when/if you figure out how to get any more points in 2-36, 3-18, and 3-23. Oh, and you too, sao.
I have been trying those levels if I find anything ill let you guys know , but we have no potential points yet wale wang score might be impassable And 999 1-34 at last
Which is totally what I thought when you were at 855. Now you're at 870. My guess is that you're not going to be able to pass him, but you will figure out how to tie him. Because I'm starting to think he didn't actually cheat, but got his points up really high before ever playing the last level, and then beating 3-40 put him right up on top. Or he cheated. But I guess we'll never really know.
We watched his score jump to 119800 with few minutes 119850 exactly then soon after 872 , it's taken me 3 weeks to get my last 30 odd points which he did in seconds , fdg probably set an upper score limit to stop hackers , he was prob just trying to find what was Highest he can put in , or done in seconds what we have done in weeks (highly unlikely )
Makes you wish FDG had left 9,223,372,036,854,775,807 as upper limit At least the dumb hackers would be easy to spot. The "smart" ones always will leave doubts, unless their nick shows up in too many games of course, which if they do that would make them less smart
I agree now we getting closer to hacked score making it look more believable Even our own are turning on us ( red)
This is why I think there should be an option for app makers - at least those who sign up for this capability - to ban any account they know hacked the game. Like with the original CO, we know the maximum number of points possible on a level can't be more than "X". Some devices are less, but we know of definite limits. People who pass that, we know are hackers. Once we have a confirmed hacker, it would be best if their name could never be used on that game again. Yeah, they could create a new account, but the idea is to make the job as annoying for the hackers as possible. Most people want to keep their name. And then, if they got blocked from the leaderboard in a certain number of games, they get blocked from EVERY game whose writers agreed to these terms. No one would have to catch them each and every time that way. There are 7 known hackers on the original CO. Haven't shown up yet with the last levels, but I expect them to show up eventually. One problem with CO2 is that the points possible seem to be at or darn close to the max. That makes it a lot harder to trick a hacker into posting an impossible score.
I play a game called cling thing , I'm no.15 in the world with 151000 score , no.14 has 998764225689996321478990 score safe to say all above me are hackers so I'm no.1 yay
Cool! New hope is rising we can figure out how Enz was doing the high score http://www.donutgames.com/iphone_hs.php?g=032 because ths sum of the best know scores https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0At49_QLdg3ngdG5GSENOMEN3blNCSlVUTDdsSHlzdFE#gid=21 isn't enough.
If a hacked score is beaten, does it still matter if it was hacked? Nobody cheats in order to become second place. But I guess he's still beating everyone else, so yeah, it matters. Hopefully he won't continue after the next batch of levels, and we can be rid of him.
Ok will keep you posted wont look at scores till I have done at least 2 run throughs 3 star run then tweak run
ok, i'm very curious if you will find a shortcut in one of the levels or so. my fun stats say raced started 17329 (almost 600 per level) and today i spend an hour to get the 14s in level 3 but just improved from 14,1 to 14,06 so you will reply in september or october?
I'm up too level 20 odd do far my score looks miles away but if there is a glitch / short cut ill find it
Some might - just to have their name on the first screen. But it is the desire to be #1 that reveals most of them and if a game attracts enough hackers (and assuming the point limit the creator allows is high enough to allow impossible scores), the effort to beat each other would push others off that screen causing them to raise their scores again to the point where you can be sure they are hackers. Of course, right now there is only one possible hacker so we can' tell for sure.
My right brain makes my fingers itch, but my left brain shouts you don't have time! And then there is cling thing as well. itch. no time! Any of theses games really worth it? itch. no time!
