How-to - Hacking flash game high-scores!

 

Before I begin, a gentle piece of advice:

Use the below for you education only, and not for any personal gains (except maybe to inflate your own ego!)

Anyways what-ever you do, I am not responsible for the outcomes (viz. if your deeds get you caught/banned online) !

Well here goes –

1. Get Firefox! (yes, only Firefox is supported in the current solution!);

2. Install tamper-data add-on – https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tamper-data/

3. Start Tamper-Data from Firefox –

Tools –> Tamper-data

4. Try to open a new session in Firefox (or only the desired flash URL in your browser or you will have a hell of a time tackling submit requests in Tamper!)

5. Fire up your flash game. (this can be done after the above step too)

6. Play and loose, or die or what-ever, just finish the DARN thing!

7. Wait till you reach the high-score window/dialog in the game;

8. Hold it, don’t submit yet!

9. Ok, now just start your Tamper process by choosing start Tamper in Tamper window.

10. Now click submit, and wait till Tamper data takes over.

11. The dialog appears asking you to tamper the current server post values;

12. Pay attention now!

a. Remember, first Un-select the checkbox of continue tampering;

b. Then choose the Tamper button.

13. In the new ‘Tamper Popup’ window which opens, check the parameters in the right panel;

14. You will find the parameters user name (whatever you types as user name) and the ‘not so high’ score you managed to get!

15. Manipulate both, and select submit/ok.

Check your score now in high scores!

Enjoy!

And now, ALPHABET ANIMALS!

Alphabetimals ! Now this is how learning gets interesting! Alphabetimals is something the inquisitive young minds will love!

It matches each alphabet with the animal name concept, which while not new, is presented in a cute and easily identifiable way! It really should help dads and mums with pre-schoolers on board!

The main USP is flip book approach with animal sounds as well as pronunciation of animal names.

Although I am yet to try this with my own 2 year old, let’s hope you there (and him here!) have as much fun on this as I did!

The Facebook page of the site offers posters and Flash cards which you can print for further offline fun!

Bonus Animal Alphabet video!

Now go ahead and have some quality time with your little brats!

TIPS: How To: Get rid of the Blinking Flash Issue on Firefox!

 

Having Firefox? CHECK.

Having a flash intensive site opened right now (Like YouTube)? CHECK.

Having the flash frame blinking repeatedly (even if no video playing in You Tube)? CHECK!

Well, if you answered all the above correctly, you have my sympathies. Because this pain in the butt problem has a small solution, which is not easily googled up in results.

Anyways, assuming you are having the browser up and running, fire up the Firefox add-ons window as below -

ALT+T for TOOLS > OPTIONS > GENERAL > MANAGE ADD ONS…

NOTE: The Geek shortcut – Ctrl + Shift + A will do the same stuff as above (you should have just the Firefox tabs open).

Ensure that you have selected the Plugins from the left options list (last option).

Scroll to the Shockwave Flash XXXXX entry, where XXXXX is your version of flash.

Now quickly hit disable. And Enable again. Check your flickering flash page (if the above solution has worked, you will have the issue resolved immediately).

You can go ahead thank me in the comments ;-)
