Back in the day I would log onto yahoo chess and beat everyone by simultaneously playing expert mode in windows chess and just mimicking the expert modes moves on yahoo as mine. Good times, never lost.
No seriously
In 2009, when Farmville was the New Hotness, I checked it out to see what all the fuss was. After all, it was rumored to be minting $1 million per day. Soon after, I saw that a lot of my friends were playing. Girlfriends were getting boyfriends to tend their crops for them while at work. They were very scrupulous with the design of their farm and tending their crops. But I wanted to just be at the top of the leaderbo…
First, I assumed the crops were laid out in a grid without any offsets. This then allowed me to define the grid in a 2d array and mark squares to skip over very easily.
Second, rather than assuming that my cursor is starting at some spot on the screen that I had to keep duplicating, I just start the cursor over the first farm plot.
Third, I actually never move the cursor to a new farm plot position. Instead, I scroll the screen and replace the cursor where it started.

http://www.sikuli.org Is my GOTO GUI scripting language for game scripting. Graphic templates are fuzzy matched. Actual scripts are python. Inbuilt OCR. I can do that kinda thing very fast. Its really awesome and put of MIT

Scripting is some dialect of BASIC and also has OCR.
Everything went fine until I put in an invalid treasure value which apparently caused some random memory locations to be modified, corrupting the game. Unfortunately, game state was written back to the same floppy disk that holds the game itself, rendering the game unplayable.
Fortunately, I could borrow a second floppy drive, borrow an uncorrupted copy of the game, and repair the game with a disk-to-disk copy. Unfortunately, I plugged in the disk drive connector crooked, sending -12 volts into a chip on the controller board that didn't want -12 volts. The result was a "pop" and a disk controller that no longer worked. Needless to say, my father wasn't happy.
Finding the problem was easy - it was the chip with a square hole blown out of it where the silicon had vaporized. Unfortunately getting a replacement chip wasn't easy when you live in the middle of nowhere. So I built a replacement circuit on a solderless breadboard and wired it into the controller board, and everything worked fine until I could get the proper replacement chip.
TL;DR: cheat at games and you will be punished

You'll never find it, it's too well hidden! Muhaha! P.S.: It isn't.
I used a APK "decompiler" once to get API keys and urls (wasn't for candy crush but for a music app using https). I guess it should work here too.
The CA is loaded into Android as trusted, internet is disabled on every app except target to reduce noise (yay! UNIX users/permissions!) SQUID's built-in logging spills all the magic beans.
What’s this? It looks like we can just tell the game we finished a level, without any other hassle
it is crazy that a game that makes multi million dollars every day has no server side validation at all and just trust the client. crazy
1. skilled enough to hack it AND 2. so interested to play the game that they would pay for something in it
are very very rare.
Unless you have world-wide score list that people actually care about or something like that.
