[Question] Text-Based Game

[TRAiN3R]

You have to learn the difference between server side and client side. Cheat engine will only work on client side.

Well I believe facebook games are server side right? They are hosted on Zynga's servers and I was able to up the amount of money and products she had. What I would do is load up CheatEngine, Load the FireFox process, test different searches with the value of whatever I was looking for, so say I was looking to increase her gold, I would do my first search on the value, then either spend some or gain some, do another search, etc. Until I found the bytes I was looking for then either freeze it or change it. The only thing is every time you load the game they move so you werent able to save cheat tables like with a regular game, but it definitely worked for online games.

Then I guess that was a flash game. You can modify the values in the flash game and the flash game will send information back to its database to update the values. However, you could have done this with something like tamper data as well.

You're right, it definetly was a flash based game. I completley forgot about Tamper Data. I remember back in the day you were able to modify paypal amounts and with automated systems you were able to receive products for pennies... Good times lol.

I think you still can, but most shops check the receipt now
