A83: Re: Re: Re: A89: ASM High Score Archives??




That's very possible, but some people aren't smart and make the score go
past the highest score the game can make.  (ie: ask the programmer what the
highest possible score could be)  If the person submits a program that has a
score of a billion or so, then you know it has been hacked.  Other than
that, sending the program, and not just the score is the best way to archive
the high score.  There will be less people that actually hack the game than
there would be people who submit a false high score.
