[CONTEST] 323's Programming Challenge #1
323 here with my first programming contest!

The winner of this contest will get 200 LGG!
Second place gets 100LGG, and third place 50LGG!


What you have to do:

If you look at the high-scores of this PacMan game, you'll see that the highest score is by "323" with a high score of over 9,000,000.

FREE Flash Pacman Game

The first three people to get their names on this high score list will be the winners! Anyone else who gets their name on the high score list will get a consolation prize of 10 LGG.

ALSO: If you post here saying that you got your name on the high score list, you MUST HAVE PROOF! Sometimes the owners of the website catch that there are hackers, and wipe the high-scores to start fresh.

You can see that I got my high score of over 9m on there with no problem, I had written my solution in Java.

HINT: I didn't get it playing legitimately!

Enjoy, and let the games begin!

This challenge seems boring and lackluster.

Make one that actually has some thinking/logic involved. Exploiting some petty Flash game is nothing.

I could create contests for creating the most logical and efficient schematics for bots. Totally lacking credentials but that doesn't matter!

Seems interesting, I'll take a look at the game soon.

It's the first programming challenge I made, and anyway, you have to make a program to auto-exploit it haha. It's not supposed to be that hard, it's just a fun little challenge. Not like it's supposed to be "Hey guys, exploit this Unix box hosted on my network and grab root and make your own user account with system privileges to win 200 LGG!".

Idk. Just doesn't seem very challenging. And it's hardly programming related because not a lot of thinking/logic is involved therefore a lot of programming/coding won't be involved.

Just saying that you could have thought of something more interesting.

I'll try to get something better for the next one, sorry haha. Just thought of this one while looking through my random Java programs. The next one will be a fair amount more challenging, haha.

Whipped up a quick and dirty solution in AutoIt using Doc's old HTTP Wrapper.

Spoiler

Global $oHTTP = ObjCreate("winhttp.winhttprequest.5.1")
Global $sPost

$sPost = _HTTPRequest($oHTTP, "POST", "http://a-zfonts.com/games/flash_pacman/pf.php", "game=pacman&name=isonyx&score=9998990")

ConsoleWrite("Post: " & $sPost)

Func _HTTPREQUEST($oHTTP, $oMethod, $oURL, $oData = "")
$oHTTP.Open($oMethod, $oURL, False)
$oHTTP.SetRequestHeader("User-Agent", "User-Agent=Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:18.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/18.0")
If $oMethod = "POST" Then $oHTTP.SetRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded")
$oHTTP.Send($oData)
Return $oHTTP.ResponseText
EndFunc


Proof is here.

Yeah, you got it! Congratulations, you're now 200LGG richer haha. My program looked a lot like that, lol. Now to come up with a better challenge for the next competition, hmmm...
