Password guessing game demonstration
THE LAST COURIER
Password ... His platformers gamers
nyavernyaka classified into the category of the greatest
inventions geymmeykinga, because for them it opens up
opportunities for the passage of long or complex games (they do
not have the ability to keep the deposition position on the
disk). Recall article game. They were complex, and get to the
level of N sometimes had quite a long while risk "to die" and
go all over again. Sometimes it's great to annoying (although,
in some cases, by contrast, get a full buzz, but this is rare).
If game is relatively simple (in terms of its execution), and
there is no need to make shipping position on the disc, the
password vsetaki need for quick access to the achieved level.
However, the alternative can be regarded as the shipment in the
"body" of the program, but again, this is not always
appropriate.
The presence of a password in addition to access to reach an
altitude makes it possible to access "illegal". If the "normal"
Access all very clear (passed level recorded / memorized
password), then with the "illegal" there are two options.
First, when you get password'y from anyone or from any media.
It is the simplest, but least interesting. In addition, all
games passwords do not find it. The second is usually resembles
a kind of puzzle. You actually are trying to
solve. The solution process is ambiguous and
may include as simply guessing, and search any laws. When using
one way, and where else?
The password can be a simple
any word or words
(Sometimes - a definite and permanent combination of numbers or
other characters). Then must rely on luck, doing
guessing. Here are possible patterns (eg, all words of four
letters). If the names are long - the probability
guessing is extremely low. However, it is almost always low.
When you pass the level you
when you notice that your password is not what was the last
time. Why?! Fair question. A very simple matter. Password
certainly contains some information. Usually - the number of
lives, time, points available "in the hands of weapons or
subjects 'energy'. It remains only to identify each character
password. This will be the second way to solve "the puzzle".
Now that we have a system of knowledge,
the time to recall and "The Last Courier". When choosing the
menu item "PASSWORD" confront us with the string "........",
where and need to enter a password. Guess here
something very, very difficult,
If at all possible. In addition, we do not know the password
consists of numbers or letters are Is it the words, and so can
not be helped, we must pass at least one level. As a rule,
The first levels are simple enough, so
get password to the second is more than real.
Thus, the password will have the following:
"HANEWYBI". Will try to experiment with it, because there are
clear signs of that the password is some information: in-game
to beat all the levels is given by a single time during the
transition to next level soranyaetsya number available to us
bombs and the presence of the box.
As it turned out, the first two characters correspond to the
time. The first of them seniors, and second - the younger (ie,
minutes and seconds). The values of the four characters
failed to disclose, if you change any of the They turned out to
be wrong password. Probably, they are responsible for the
number and level are constant (ie, how many times would you nor
were level 1, these four characters would remain unchanged).
Thus, is a mixed type of password, which has as symbols that
carry variable information and "Constants." The process is
clearly more difficult and easy access to vyschestoyaschim
vanishes. Change the penultimate character revealed that he is
responsible for the availability of a box and the latter - is
responsible for the number of bombs, with which we successfully
passed the previous level. As a result, although we
and can not yet get to the higher
levels, but the stock "inventory" and the time at
We will always, and this facilitates the further passage,
because now there is nothing stopping us embed the password in
the appropriate values.
After a few levels, we note some features of those four
letters. AND They really are like the names of game stages.
"NEWY", "LOND", "LOSA", "PARI" ... But this is the first 4
letters of Names of major cities!
NEWY - New York
LOND - London
LOSA - Los Angeles
PARI - Paris
MOSC - Moscow
BERL - Berlin
WASH - Washington
VIEN - Vienna
VOLO - Vologda (there was created a game)
Password'y receive the following:
JINEWYBI, JILONDBI, JILOSABI, JIPARIBI,
JIMOSCBI, JIBERLBI, JIWASHBI, JIVIENBI,
JIVOLOBI.
But their structure:
J I V O L O B I
the number of available bombs (A-I)
the presence of a box: A-no
B-is
4 letters of the name of the town,
responsible for the level number
time
Often, the creators of gaming software uses control
characters, for example, are the sum of what a
other elements of the password. It all depends
from developers and their fantasies, so
specific recommendations can not give.
The main thing - to find these control characters and
After changing your password just to change them.
Of course, control characters can
be several.
Igrodely sometimes create very sophisticated
protection against unauthorized
access levels, thus discouraging any
desire to be picked with a password. For example, the
Dendy in the game G. I. JOE password looked
as follows:
F - F - --- --- P - --- - N
--- --- --- --- ----G------ --- - P-F---- --- -
-G-K --D---- --- - T ----- --- --- --- --- --- ----- --- --- -
O-S - --- H- Agree that this password is not only
change, but even record somewhere
to put it mildly, napryazhno. Although, in this
password'e contains quite a lot of information.
The game was the World Rally Championship
next perverted: at each stage of the password
added to 6-8 (can not remember exactly) characters. As a
result, by the end of chempiodata length password'a exceed 50
characters! This is could tolerate, but all the characters were
in Japanese characters! No really, thank you, I'm better off
without passwords ...
Last 2-3 paragraphs addressed geymmeykeram that they do not
overdo with dimensions password'ov.
In conclusion, I say again, I kept silent about
Another way to access the levels, but they
few are guessing passwords. This
Image of program code, change pending position (there passwords
and does not smell) Search cheat-codes, etc. Also, there is
still another way: the designer of missions / levels that can
be inserted instead of the original. Such an editor exists for
"The Last Courier", and created or revised software may be
embedded in game instead of copyright. Really, like this
do not go! Editor - a key to the truth
but in contact with him the truth fades and interest in the
game decreases, so keying should be cautious.
If the game can get tricky, and without
tricks - better than them and not username.
