Time Cheating in Video Games : Deep Dive with Godot

[@Smaxx]

I think one more point that's important to remember, especially considering your note at the end about no encryption etc.: As with most systems like this, it's not about making something unpenetrable. Just making it solid enough that it requires quite some workarounds to cheat makes it somewhat cheat proof versus a generic audience. This is obviously mood, if it can be automated, but that's on yet another level after this.

Well I can clearly see now from where this material originates :) Proud to make an impact, great work!

Suggestion: Track not only the state but the actions
use the action log and states as input to a learning algo, that answers the question "which source of time to trust".

Hehe, now I know 5 different ways I could try to break a game's clock!

Definitely the lesson here...

For solution #5, you can hack it by intercepting the system calls. I'm not sure how that works on a mobile device, you'd probably have to have a jailbroken device or something, but on a desktop computer it can be done trivially with DLL injection or various other methods.

Yep, That's why games now require always online sadly
