player "colaneri" can get the crown out of thin air

If a player can do things that Chris & co didn't plan for this game, that is a bug. The player is "hacking" and since the player can do that - which isn't what Chris wants - there is a bug in the code.

Having written that, here's a bug report: player "colaneri" can get the crown out of thin air.

(S)he's currently doing it in the "100 coins" room:

Maybe Chris can contact this person and ask how (s)he is doing this, so this bug can be fixed.

It's WPE. It cannot be fixed.

Some moves are not possible and the game can tell. If the player's location isn't near/on the crown, how can the player get the crown? Players can't go through walls, they can't move faster than a certain maximum speed. The game just needs more checks build into it, so it doesn't accept impossible packets...

A bug is an error, flaw, mistake, failure, or fault in a computer program that produces an incorrect or unexpected result, or causes it to behave in unintended ways.

This is a bug.

For some strange reason you and others seem to think that it's not a bug if a software program allows improper input. Imagine if Google said that people using "WPE" to read other peoples' e-mails is not a bug but a hack. If people can hack, then there's a bug in the software, unless the author meant for people to 'hack' their program or game. Chris didn't code his software thinking "nice, now people who change packets can always get the crown", he tried to make sure people couldn't. And they can, so there's a bug somewhere.

Re: player "colaneri" can get the crown out of thin air

Yeah. EE needs to have more checks, such as 'player doesn't have smiley ID:[id], player cannot use smiley ID:[id]', simple logic. I'm not sure if people can hack to change smiley variables to the ID of a smiley they don't have.

This is still not a bug. It's just hacking or cheating.

You could describe the activity of the player as "hacking", it gives the player the ability to do unintended things. How is it possible that players can do unintended things? Because there are bugs in the code.

Hacking and bugs aren't the same sort of thing. The first is an activity, the latter is a thing. So if you think it's not a bug, you have to group it differently. You could, for instance, say: this is a feature. (Which is also a thing, not an activity.)

Re: player "colaneri" can get the crown out of thin air

Please understand. People hack. Deal with it. It's not a bug. It's WPE, something that people use to hack. HACK. Is not something in the code which says "People can get crown when they want". It's something in WPE which says "Get crown when you want". Not that hard.

Do you even know the meaning of hacking? Just saying.

Use a computer to gain unauthorized access to data in a system

     - they hacked into a bank's computer
Gain unauthorized access to (data in a computer)

     - hacking private information from computers

DO YOU UNDERSTAND?
[edit]For example, you have a shop. Someone comes and steals the things in the shop. It's not your fault, it's just that someone came and stole your things.[/edit]

Bug: When it's your profile, even you can't see it when it's private. I really have a problem with this. VV0O+, 10th post on this topic! Sorry to be so Off-topic. Anywho, When you put your profile to private, but you wanna see it while it's in private mode, (Heh, "Private", lol.) It won't let you. And thAT'S your profile. It is so unathorizing, (Lol custom word XD) when you wanna see your profile on lock!! Ugh! This bug NEEDS to be fixed.
Ugh. I type so much so people can understand. Just please report this bug to Chris.

Re: player "colaneri" can get the crown out of thin air

Is hacking someone's account a bug? Is stealing someone's identity a bug? Is drawing graffitti on a train a bug? Yeah. That's right. If these aren't bugs, getting the crown out of nowhere isn't a bug either.
