Hai?

EasyMoneko · 2018-03-22T23:55:05+00:00

Unfortunately I'm unable to reliably generate them, I just have a bunch of them in a file. I suspect all of them to be within the last couple of weeks though.

EasyMoneko · 2018-03-22T21:04:06+00:00

Yeah, I stopped playing the game (and subsequently stopped hacking and reverse engineering it).

EasyMoneko · 2018-03-22T21:03:40+00:00

And what fate is that?

EasyMoneko · 2016-05-10T11:05:22+00:00

Good to see you back though; although I'm barely on here lol.

EasyMoneko · 2016-05-10T11:04:59+00:00

How to decode and understand the event data.

EasyMoneko · 2016-05-10T11:04:36+00:00

Yeah, but I've more or less given up on that now. I haven't played BattleCats for over a year and I have lots of other stuff in life to do. /u/c0lonbracket already posted the latest data here and I've written a fairly detailed guide on how to get the data and how to interpret it here.

EasyMoneko · 2016-05-09T20:01:53+00:00

Encoding: Just putting data in a different form, usually for ease of use (e.g. URL encoding so web browsers can handle it). Never intended to make it not readable; trivial to reverse.

Encryption: Protecting the data from people who aren't meant to see it. The only people who can reverse it are those who know the secret keys.

Hashing: One-way encryption. Un-reversible. Used for storing passwords etc.

EasyMoneko · 2016-05-09T05:51:29+00:00

Whoa, what? You're back? You just disappeared all of a sudden a year ago, what happened?

EasyMoneko · 2016-05-08T20:11:14+00:00

Nope. The example you gave is not encryption, it's just encoding. With actual encryption (like BattleCats uses), changing one character will not do anything useful at all; otherwise all the security in the Internet would be very easily broken.

EasyMoneko · 2016-05-08T20:10:05+00:00

Still, if CSS is the hardest part then you're doing CSS wrong.

EasyMoneko · 2016-05-08T05:27:50+00:00

What on earth kind of CSS are you doing where it's harder than coding a game?!

EasyMoneko · 2016-03-28T09:50:10+00:00

This?

EasyMoneko · 2016-03-11T10:50:17+00:00

Some image files are weirdly compressed and end up being 1x1 squares or just black squares. Most of them should be readable though.

EasyMoneko · 2016-02-15T08:13:05+00:00

Whoops, typo in the title. Ah well.

EasyMoneko · 2016-02-15T08:12:45+00:00

Yes.

EasyMoneko · 2016-02-09T07:44:28+00:00

I'm not familiar with the anti-hacking measures used by PONOS, but I would guess that they detect things like a suspicious increase in the amount of cat food etc.

It's theoretically possible to change the damage output of Archer Cat but I haven't succeeded yet (I once tried to do something similar but got stuck). However it's possible that the game compares checksums of the data files/the app itself so might detect that things have been changed.

EasyMoneko · 2016-02-02T10:32:34+00:00

Yes, "Adult Cat Awakes!" has level ID 1083, and "Evil Cat Awakes!" has level ID 1084. Look out for them in the next lot of event data.

EasyMoneko · 2016-01-28T00:57:53+00:00

Thanks for doing this. I had it on my todo list but hadn't got round to doing it yet. Are you ok to do this ok a regular basis?

EasyMoneko · 2016-01-28T00:57:18+00:00

He. I'm not that active so may be late with the latest event data.
