i used AI to reverse engineer subway surfers

mm question for you - Why would this ever be on the front end of the client? Why not just have it on the back end? and then just some function that says show certain thing at given point - yes/no (backend decides..)

Latency + it can work offline. A lot of decisions happen mid-game, like power-up selection/spawning, and the phone already has the data it needs to compute it

@techguyver but client-side data can't be trusted and can be faked

@TheDonAyo @techguyver No one is spending effort to fake some of their player data in literally subway surfers

@TheDonAyo @techguyver apparently they should, though. To get lower prices in the shop 😅

@TheDonAyo @techguyver Shop prices are sent from server even though it's calculated based on data sent from client side, to figure out a discount youd have to tweak a ton of your settings in tests to figure out how it does that and even after allat its still subway surfers boring ass game

I mean, it's definitely easier today. They can also work harder to mask it with AI if they want to. I just think that up until now people weren't doing this as much. It wasn't also so easy to reverse engineer these things, and now it is, so people and companies will probably also do more to somewhat obfuscate their code bases (especially if theyre already making so much money)

Dope series 👏🏾🔥

Preciate it 😁🙏🏾

I am SO here for this type of content. Don't stop. Maybe do Duolingo next. Something that's not a game.

love this series

Thank you🙏🏾

love these breakdowns man

"Tuned to make more money" And this is why we can't have nice things. Wow, I'm naive I guess but this feels really shitty to me. I'd want all players treated fairly and the same. Is there a pay to turn off ads option? What changes?

@PUBG next 😶

source???

@drbarnard How would you know this? Is their game open sourced?

@drbarnard This is class! Keep these coming 👏

Day 2 of waiting for the Dream League Soccer RICO

Wait, subway surfers makes over $60M a year I don't know why that comes as a shock to me lol

Nice job, but you are aware that all this posts including yours will lead to total ban of doing it further on?

please keep that up that's extremely educative

Love this content , building a iOS game myself, following, well done 💙

Do clash Royale

@grok bunu türkçe özetlermisin izlemeye üşendim

It's normal for things to be a different price between countries, but it's you're saying it's more than that, isn't that illegal or something? Although, if it's a transparent discount, that's a different case. Still manipulative to target people with them, but not entirely wrong.

i collected the coins and they say pay money to get coins i uninstalled it immediately

can you make a longer video to show exactly the behind the scenes of how you actually reverse engineered it , it will be super interesting

So, they are mainly doing A/B testing via ads. right ?

Oh wow, when I read the headline, I thought it was a joke, but that's actually valuable info. Thanks!

TOWNSHIP!!!

every video of bro be like

Awesome thanks for doing and posting these

yooo this is dopeeee

My favorite series 🙂‍↔️

How does "reverse engineering" give you this information?

good work

Instagram next @TheDonAyo
