computer hacking game [non-mccodes]

[gooberface1990]

Hey guys. I just want to spread some news that I am going to attempt my own creation. I hope you don't hate me but I want to create a game without using McCodes. It's going to be a hacking game where everyone has a computer that they have to buy. It might be hard to make and also, there might be a game out that might feature a simulation of a hacking game but I want to make it more featurable. Even though it's not a word.

Here's what I'm planning on making it.

You start out with no computer and no computer skills. You have $3000 to buy a computer. Basically, you have the only option to buy a low end hacking computer that would be slow for $2000. The rest of the money will go towards software and hardware for your low end computer. You also can buy anti-virus on the game and a strong firewall on your computer. Basically, when you buy a computer, you have to buy internet also. Internet will not cost more than $100 but for just a low end low security internet provider, but if you earn money in hacking peoples computers and gaining information, you might be able to find a bank IP address. When you buy internet, you are assigned an IP address that is secret to other people. If you use your computer to search for other peoples internet, it might take a while depending on the computer you have. Once you have an IP address selected, you can just enter it in and hack his computer again to gain any type of software he has.

Here's the thing that I'm trying to figure out. If a person is buying internet and getting an IP address, how to you keep it from selecting other peoples IP address? I think I can solve it where if your IP address matches up, it will refresh until the IP address not being used is valid to use so you would be able to use the internet on it. If course, it will take a while to make. I'm also going to make features on there so soon, I might be able to get this project done when I can.

What do you guys think of this game I want to create?

Why exactly would we hate you for making a game without mcc, if anything, i applaud it.

Sounds like a game i was on a few years back. Slave hack i belive

This sounds like an interesting concept I do have a few questions.

1) How will they hack, just if you have a better program you win?

2) Text based?

3) What languages you plan on using?

4) Will it be multi-player or play against computer?

To expand on 4 what I mean is will it be everyone hacking players or will it be hacking “bots”, and have the player interaction as trading software etc?

1. They can hack depending on type of computer. The speed of the computer, software and hardware that is installed on the computer. For example, if you have an emachine that really sucks, you have a low end decrypter for firewalls, and speed of internet, It might take a few days for it to find someone's IP address.

2. I plan on making it text based, but there will be lots of graphics.

3. mostly html, php, css, and maybe a little bit of javascript. Since I don't know javascript, I can probably search the internet for some javascript codes that I could possibly use.

4. This will be a multi-player type game. Everyone doesn't know each others IP addresses and it will be a fun game. Plus, for trying to hack someones computer, your IP address will be detected by the person you are trying to hack. Of course, if the person doesn't have a firewall, they won't know what IP your computer is or if you have software of masking your IP address with a fake IP address.

There will be both bots and users that you can hack. There will be bots like a store or a bank, or even the pentagon. The IP address is specific in every way so it might take a while to plan this thing out as I make it. There will be a black market for pirated software to make money off it. Of course, the black market is like an auction house so it might be hard to get an item if someone bought it. If the item you are trying to sell is sold to someone, you get a profit from it.

that's almost like the game I played but it looks like a different way of game play.
