Hello Renato and happy new year :) The score of Genie der3 does not appears in the score list because his timing check indicates cheating. A slow down factor of exactly 2. So I'm wondering if it is a fake or a failure of the timing check. I'm thinking to improve this timing detection but it is not a...

Hello, Theoretically, if you run the game in a virtual environment that perfectly decreases the machine timing, it won't be possible to detect cheating. The only solution would be to do an online check while playing. The score you registered has a good timing check but not perfect, so it is possible...

Hello, Yes you're right, the polycube random distribution is different in BLockout II. In blockout II, a "bag system" is used. That means that (in OOC) all 41 polycubes are randomly permuted and then distributed, after the complete distribution, a new bag is generated. So the probability o...

Hello Harry,

From the Readme.txt: How to retrieve your high score and config when moving from re...

hi herc :) I looked at the new joomla software and that\'s true that there is much differences with our current installation. I don\'t know if it will be possible to install a fresh release of the FireBoard plugin and keep the forum history. I remember that i also made patches in the FireBoard plugi...

Hi, Thanks for your job :) That\'s great ! I believe your are using the getscore.php script to get the data. If you are interested in, I can write a more complete PHP script that should allow to display other info such as BPM or other values not available from this script. Just let me know which dat...

It makes the cheating more difficult. Here is the 2 last detected hacked score: (score offset in bold)...
