Oh man, i'll have to delete those entries from the leaderboard, sorry mate. Thanks for finding that bug though i'll update the game on friday.

There won't be a leaderboard in the final game (it's singleplayer, and players can easily cheat on their machine). The final game will have a fog of war and an almost endless space to explore, with planets, asteriods and the likes.

Ahahaha

A bit late to say that only scores above 60k used cheating? It’s pretty easy to reach ~45k on “hard” difficulty; the real challenge is not having your computer freeze.

Now, if the goal is to prevent the entire leaderboard from being filled with the same name, I think it would be interesting to restrict repetition.

Yeah, of course of all the feedback is correct but I don't wanna spend too much time on the prototype while the real game is coming along nicely!

My bad on the score, i'll update it manually.

Preventing cheating in leaderboards takes a lot of work, like code obfuscation, sum checking and what not.

Hey, don’t worry about the leaderboard or the prototype! I’m just really excited about the game, and in my enthusiasm, I tend to talk too much, trying to contribute somehow. Don’t take my words too seriously. Keep doing what you do best!
