Alchemy

[Corona688]

By accident I have happened upon a method to generate arbitrarily high scores in this FF arcade game, and am now viewing the highest scores in it with suspicion. :ffshifty: Particularly given some of the comments(I think I broke my mouse, etc).

C'mon, fess up. :p Do you use it?

p.s. vim! It's been years! Fix the :p smiley!

[livius drusus]

Can't be done, I'm afraid. If I create a :p, then I will never be able to have another smiley that starts with a p because it'll immediately parse as the tongue out.

As for Alchemy, I blow at it so you know I've never found the cheat.

[Corona688]

So we can't have any smileys beginning with P anymore, either? Since :P works.

Didn't know that. Interesting.

[livius drusus]

Correctamundo. That's how it's been from the beginning. It's not much of a hardship 'cause I very rarely use caps in smileytext.

I found the cheat, but could never spend the time to utilize it. Unlike most of the :ff: Arcade games, I don't care for our version of Alchemy. I loved the PopCap Games version, and there was no cheat in that one. I think I still have the screencap from when I attained Grand Alchemical Master in that one.

p.s. vim! It's been years! Fix the :p smiley!"Not sure I take your inference, and if I do, I'm not sure I like it!" </deadwood>

If I used the cheat, I don't know it. I remember a couple of things looking a little wonky, like I think a couple of times when I happened to double-click really fast a rune overwrote the one I had just dropped. When I tried to do that on purpose it didn't work. Is that what you're talking about?

Anyway, thanks for not wiping out my high scores. It took a really long time to play those games. :)

corona, can you please tell me the cheat so i can take out blakes high score?

[seebs]

The classic PopCap alchemy is vulnerable to infinite scores.

[Sock Puppet]

Oh, I guess I never found the PopCap cheat. I worked that sucker. Honestly. :caught:

The Alchemy one is too simple. Watch out for RSI if you want to go for it. I'm too busy leveling in WoW.

Blake, I really did try to grab Chopper Challenge. But my high score never got above about a quarter of yours. Bastard.

You could do it. It's just a loop; master the thing and it's just a question of how long you're willing to play.

I can't believe I'm still 2nd in the Arcade. I fucking rule.
