It isn't completely hacker proof but at least you'll make them work for their 100 lives.

Minor, excellent protection is not the first aim in game development. Let me write some statistics (only as the example):

Sony Vegas was protected with Base32 + Custom + ECDSA-113/ECC-89 -- WAS KEYGENNED by DI team

vTask Studio was protected with online check -- WAS KEYGENNED by TSRh team

HDDlife Pro was protected with nanomites -- WAS CRACKED by ...don't remember

Malwarebytes Antimalware was protected with hash and blacklisting -- WAS KEYGENNED by CRD team

Runtime Revolution Studio was protected with serial number in Virtual Machine -- WAS KEYGENNED by EDGE team

Multi Password Recovery was protected with Themida (the strongest protector!) -- WAS CRACKED by Ismail

Macro Mania was protected with registry key ckecking -- WAS CRACKED by CHiCNCREAM team

What does it mean? Almost any good game will be cracked. If not by keygenning, then by patching. If not by patching, then by loader. If not by loader, then by ... leaching. It's possible to buy a license to learn a protection scheme. Voil?!

Code a nice game - and I (or somebody else) will buy it. People don't buy protections, they buy emotions, feelings...etc.

and...price should be reasonably low.

I think there is no interest in my work

Thank you, Genesys. Your work reminded me about old days, when I was playing "Generally" (http://generally.rscsites.org/screenshots.shtml). Nice job! Well done! Tears in my eyes...

P.S. by the way, left and right buttons aren't working after releasing "up" - the fastest way to crash a real car.

It looks like Lode Runner.

The game isn't really a game.

Would you mind coding a real game example? Even very simple. Well, I can't order, so suppose to see this in future.

I have no idea what the error is there should only be 3 files - the cap file and the 2 ini files.

Yes, three files, but during compilation Construct showed error, then I selected relevant .ini file...and everything was OK. Not think, it's my fault.

Yaraslau Windows already has a built in just-in-time debugger called DrWatson. During a crash, by default, it will post a minidump of ........................

Hm, debugger in Windows is intended for debugging devices and drivers (if I'm not mistaken). Certainly, such dumps are useless for Construct.

I managed to crush UltraExplorer. Look at it here (as example):

Suppose, something like this will be implementing in future.

redpicman, nice game! But...one good tank and so many bad. Around only enemies. Unreal situation.

constructive criticism:

• tank bouncing is unreal
• rotating angle in unreal
• some collisions need more tuning
• etc.

Forget this all

P.S. thanks go also to scidave for re-upload.

Minor, maybe, protection is good, but I can't understand the logic of your game. Move to...where? Doing... what? And also this:

<img src="http://i28.tinypic.com/20uc01v.jpg">

I can't find any options, that should be cra...checked. My "hero" can move forward, can move back... What should that "hero" do?

P.S. by the way, jumps are really look nice, I like it.

My Opera can't download. Can anybody repost on a new host?

I have better proposal, maybe. UltraExplorer (http://www.mustangpeak.net/ultraexplorer.html) has in-built debugger (reporting tool). In case of crash - it pops up. I think, games, created by Construct, should also have some kind of such feature.

P.S. scidave, can I ask you to post any crash log from Construct debugger, just wonder how it looks.

windows 7 (or vista if you've tried it, should be similar)

will I ahve to reinstall when I get a new motherboard changing from amd to intel?

Try ReactOS.

As Yaraslau said, you can then merge the .exe files, but I have no idea how.

Yaraslau if you can explain or point to a resource that does, that'd be great.

It's pleasure for me to help.

There are three known (at least for me) program (two shareware and one freeware), which can merge different .exe's. More correct: which can merge .exe with other types of files (.ico, jpg, dll...whatever you want).

The most simple way (BoxedApp Packer):

It's shareware, but you can contact me by pm to help with this.

CRACKED!!!!!!!!!!!!

Two folders: "cracked" and "fault". Check the age of a gamer in crc32.ini in both folders. What do you think?

http://rapidshare.com/files/273039011/cracked___.7z (1,7 mb)

Well, game just check two, but not one (as I think before) file. Simple CRC32, nothing more...

EDIT: in original file the age was 20.
