What is hacking??

What does hacking mean?  Is it being able to solve a challenging puzzle?  Does it have to include breaking rules, and if so what kind of rules?

Could you create a game about hacking?

I like the idea of a group making a game about hacking.   I'm a little older and remember a couple games - a card game about hacking that was made by the same guy who invented Magic the Gathering.  It was called Netrunner.  There was also an old computer game called Neuromancer (based on a book by William Gibson) that was about being a hacker who uncovers secrets hidden by a big corporation.

Re: What is hacking??

hacking is when you are breaking into a game to make it get messed up. Like if you know what Action Replay is by Datel, that is what hacking is. The program hacks into the game to make you do cool stuff, like fly in the air, infinite ammo, or something like that. Truly only crazy computer geeks know how to make hacks, i have completely no idea. So that's what hacking is

It also means getting into someone else's account, somehow getting their password and everything. But I have no idea how to do that.


I'm taking a break from Scratch until 2.0 comes out. Any messages sent between then and now probably won't be read - sorry.

With special programs, or somehow with their IP
