Game hacking methods used in the real world of programming
« on: June 21, 2008, 12:08:07 pm »
Aight so let me tell you about our system setup at my house.

My step dad wrote a program that allows us to turn on various house and outside lights on and off from any computer, also it allows us to control the 10 different valves on our pool and all the sprinklers.

I can litteraly sit here and do anything i want with the pool/lights/sprinklers.

well, i got tired of turning the pool on and off on the computer and my step dad didnt put a scheduler on it so this is what i did.

I hacked it via memory, I got the pokes of different settings from the pool control and made a simple schedule program for it, now my job of maintaining the pool is just to clean the basket and check the PH and chlorine of the water every 4-5 days. really simple app i made too.

the reason i didnt go through the source code (the control app was written in my native toung...VB6) is because i didnt have access to the source code because my step dad has been out of town for about a month now in our vacation house in maine (that lucky son of a bitch), so i called him and told him what i done and he was impressed.


Simple programming for those who know it, but game hacking can be used in real life coding. this is just one example.

home automation... pwnd.

Enjoy your creative game-play, whatever that may include.

Making real life... Nerdy.
Being Australian is about driving in a German car to an Irish pub for a Belgian beer, and then travelling home, grabbing an Indian curry or a Turkish kebab on the way, to sit on Swedish furniture and watch American shows on a Japanese TV.

Cool, you never know when game hacking comes in handy ;)
Heckling is an art, and game hacking a science.

But you have to make sure it's safe enough. Wouldn't be fun if the pool was flooded.  :icon_cool2

thats on an entirely different system.

we have basically the same idea as a toilet where as if the water is low the ball lowers and turns the water on. this is all hidden and tucked away.

I thought a pool was supposed to be flooded...that's what they call it a pool?!
