md5 maybe?

is there any method using official plugins only to hash something (that can be later checked in php) to prevent cheating in online leaderboars?

if not could it be added pretty please? :) i'm preparing quite large project to arcade and kongregate, so cheat prevention is the key

If you know php could you not calculate it there?

Aren't there third party plugins available for this? Is there a reason you don't want to use them?

Ashley - arcade? :)

R0J0hound in php it's no problem, in construct it is w/o 3rd party plugins.

if you can just POST it to php from the game wheres the problem?

aridale the problem is you can manipulate post data to post fake scores, that's where md5 comes in.

Like they say, opinions are like... well you know the saying, but if you can't trust your user base, then perhaps you're in the wrong business.

its not the problem of a simple high scores, there's pvp involved, so i cant have users changing their stats as they please.

how can you change post data between c2 and your php? or do you mean somethin else?

you can simply post to the php using custom made forms.

can we get back on topic please? Ashley is there any way of adding simple md5 hash to system object so tha game can be posted to arcade?

also in the other thread about dictionary object can anything be done about this?

thanks in advance, cheers!

We are planning to eventually add our own hi-score system to the Scirra Arcade, so I'm afraid we don't want to support the custom hi-scores use case on the Arcade before then.

ok, again, it's not only for high scores but for securing all comunication game <-> server :) so again, is there any chance md5 would be implemented in some default plugin like system?
