Cheating in Daily Challenge
Posted: 15 March 2025, 13:24
Do you think there is cheating in the Daily Challenge?
Honestly, I don't think so because the scores seem realistic.
But if there were, I think there would be two types of cheating:
Having a second BGA account and noting down the solutions.
Developing a bot that analyzes the levels and plays them extremely fast.
The second option would be impossible to counter. But aside from doing it for fun, I don't see the point, and I think it would be a lot of effort for very little gain.
I have a fun idea that could add some variety to the Daily Challenge and help detect cheaters using the first method:
One day a week, on Wednesday for example, the puzzles in the Daily Challenge wouldn't always be the same. I could make sure they have roughly the same average completion time, but it would still be slightly unfair.
Do you think this is a good idea?
