I hope this is the right place to say this since im new here.

Is there anyway to prevent hackers on a text based rpg ?
thanks

dunno much about text games

but I suppose you could have the server keep a check on all inventry items for each player,
same goes for any items in that game world, make everything go through the server and have a finite amount of objets,

say you have a thousand health potions in gameworld,

player A picks up health potion, gameworld = gameworld - health potion[1]

player A = player A + health potion[1]

in reality you would have each player in a class with the number and type of items for each player checked by the server and none controlled by the clients ( the players )

you could even have the server check the position of each player in gameworld I suppose,

still thats roughly an idea of what CRC checks in first person shooters use in their multiplayer games
