Hi i have created a platform game (www.platformers.co.uk)

and it keeps getting hacked, i have used php files to create a leaderboard

i had a browse on the internet and it seems the only way to protect my game from hackers (mainly the flash decompiler) is to buy an encryption package

do any of you know of other options? thanks Stu

the leaderboard, check out my game http://www.platformers.co.uk/

people can decompile it, then look at the php file names, then they run the php files to add scores

Thanks Stu

it shouldn't matter whether users know your php file names or not.  they should be prevented from executing those files unless the php files are called by the expected file, ie your swf.
