Stars! turn generation assumes that the turn has been not made (or affected) by some external client. Integrity and cheat check is bare minimum there. If people start to hack their turn files then first thing it probably will cause is that AH will hang and crash a lot more than it does now. Confused

Wumpus was first who wanted to publish the encryption algorithm. He wanted to prevent at least some evil that it causes. He was writing cheat checker so AH can run it and precheck uploaded .X# files against hacking cheats. I am not sure how far he got. The probablility that he discovered all possible ways to cheat is low. The files have lot of little detail and writing proper integrity and cheat check there takes significant manpower. Nod
