Are You A Typing Hacker? Prove It

Great (or perhaps just lazy :p ) minds think alike. After about 25 levels I started inspecting the javascript for ways to break the game, rather than playing the game properly. It turns out that the game keeps track of all the entities on the screen (both player and NPC/enemies) as an array, and that on each call of draw it checks if any are still alive, and if the player has collided with an enemy. It doesn't actually check if the player still exists, or if there's any way that the enemies could have been killed. As such, replacing the draw function with:

ig.game.draw = function (){this.backdrop.draw(0,0);var d=this.lastKillTimer.delta();ig.system.context.globalAlpha=d 0) { while (ig.game.entities.length > 0) ig.game.entities.pop();} }

causes you to auto-win every round. Just goes to show that, as per usual, programming hacks for the game is more fun than the game itself. Programming vs anything else? Well, programming is gonna win every time.

EDIT: In case it isn't obvious, it's the last line of the function which I've modified:

if(ig.game.entities.length > 0) { while (ig.game.entities.length > 0) ig.game.entities.pop();}

So, for each call to draw, the game will run as per usual and then end the call to draw by popping all entities from the entities array, which ends the wave.

I thought this would be tuned to hackers. Should be able to choose your programming language / framework of choice. This is would pepper the vocabulary with words would typically see in those the selected programming environments.

Bonus points for using Sublime short cuts to "type" some standard words.

This game is great fun. I can't find some of the issues with it which people have complained about it before.

Adding some kind of dynamic difficulty system is a bad idea, don't listen to them! The difficulty should remain in the amount of words, and the length of those words in each level.

For what this game is, it's pretty cool.

jammed some edm, hi bpm in the background to keep me alert. when things got hectic i got some lag but that only helped me catch up. I couldn't stop playing.

I would like to see a leaderboard too

It needs the active word to be highlighted more, and ensure that it's z-index is on the top. Ultimately lost the game because the word I'd locked onto got covered up by a bunch of other words. Fun game though, would play again.
