    Colorbots are extremely efficient and can be run on just a raspberry pi.

    Human reaction time is ~200-250ms, while the cheat will be introducing easily less than 10ms of latency.

    I’ve never used cheats in a video game because I don’t see the point and it would spoil the fun of playing, but as a software developer, it is interesting to learn about how they work and are implemented

      that’s super impressive to me, and I guess explains why any client side anticheat is ineffective vs a determined cheater, rootkit or not.

      thanks for the explanation! I miss when anti-cheating measures involved actual human beings administrating servers
