Ive always had this competitive side of me. It started when I won my first sports tournament. After that, I realized I actually was trash at sports (I won the tournament for the losers of the losers of the losers, as I learned later) but I still wanted to win things. I found I had a talent for video games. I’m quick to learn things and I find the best ways to put them to use. I played many video games but got bored of them quickly. Then a few years later my 5th grade had a class on scratch. We got school usernames and passwords and created some pretty bad games, but it sparked my interest in coding. I made some more pretty bad games but one day I decided to quit scratch. Fast foreword a year, and I feel like coding again. I make a new account on scratch because I cant remember my old ones username, and start fresh. I take some time trying to find the best uses for each block, and the. Try to make a platformer. I was apparently too much of a noob to get the physics right, so I end remixing and adding on to the first one I ever played: Purple | A Platformer by @Squadd_Legend . Next I enter @MJM3 game contest and I use my own code. I continue getting better at coding until about the time I make my PFP. I’m trying to search something on google, must I miss click and hit the explore button. I never noticed this before. I click on the games tab and find out how many games there really are. I learn that cloud variables can allow you to make a leaderboard. I play one called Thing, which inspired me to make my spear dodge game. Ive since played a ton of different scratch games, trying to master each type. My first real high score that still stands is on @stonebob ‘s game 99% pen bow. I’ve played those types of games before so i quickly learned that if your time it right you can hit 3 targets in every loop. I repeated doing that until I got to 1,000. (What made it easier is that you cant loose, so its just about determination) Then I found out about @UltimatE_CrumpleD . His games were super fun and he was a nice guy so I decided to go for a high score on some of his games. My first record was Arrowzoid. Again, I’ve played those types of games before so I quickly mastered it. I fount out that if you move your mouse to the bottom middle and then slowly move it right, it flattens out so its harder to get hit. You could stay there for about a minute before a rock would hit you. What makes it even easier was that there was no upper limit (that I found) to how many extra live you could get, so if you only leave that spot when you have to or to get an extra life, you could technically stay alive forever. One I got to 1,000 points (I like clean numbers) I purposely ran into the lava. On cloud jump, if you only move one you have to, don’t go all out to get coins (they only save you about 2 seconds), and if the clouds don’t disappear when you are on the right side of the screen, you are able to move back at the same speed as them. This makes it so you can jump on them twice. If you continue this pattern, you are able to stay alive until you end up messing up. This morning I woke up and when I got on scratch, I had 3 messages form asking why I hacked his games. I was confused at first because it wasn’t April fools day anymore but then I realized we might be in different time zones so I ask him if its a joke. He said it was April 2nd and he was serious so then I started to worry. I went on his profile and saw that he posted a project that said I was hacking. I clicked on it and it basically said that I hacked the high score in his newest game. I was so confused and worried at that point because it generally looked like I did hack the high score. I was trying to comprehend what was happening when I went on my profile and saw that a game I’ve been working on for a while now and was planning to share in a few days, got completely deleted. I had most of it in a copy in my backpack so I was able to salvage some stuff, but the release is gonna be delayed. I’m trying to get proof to but none of it is that solid. There only one more thing I can think of and that’s that I only do scratch on my iPad (it has an attachable keyboard) and that (I think) you are only able to hack on computers. I don’t know if that’s enough though and I’m trying to find more proof. In the project you will see a picture of my IPad. I hope I can prove to you, that I really didn’t hack. -pIatypus7777
