A question on encrypted saves and dictionaries (lemmy.world)

submitted 1 year ago by [email protected] to c/godot

2 comments fedilink hide all child comments

I know that motivated people can generally crack encrypted saves, but in general, if I have some saved dictionaries which I don't want the player to be able to access directly, is an encrypted save the best way to handle this, or is there a better way?

That's how I'd do it, would be best if it's encrypted in memory as well. Or at least encrypt important values so you can't edit them with Cheat Engine or similiar programs. There's also ways to make it harder to debug and reverse engineer your game if you want to look into them

But whatever you do, someone will be cheating sooner or later. No way arround that, you can only slow them down

Only exception is server sided games, but you can still create bots for those and maybe even find some way to exploit your code
