cheating in darwinia?

[farnsworth]

after trying for ~4 hours to crack the 'game.txt' encryption, I checked google and found someone had already done it. ](*,) but it wasn't in python. maybe I'll make it less shamelessly inefficient, and add a pygtk frontend if I get bored tomorrow.

as promised. just slap it in your .darwinia/full/users/~whoever directory and cheat away.

edit: figured you might not want to edit the script for each file.
>>> USAGE: ~$ python redshirt2.py game.txt

edit again: If you see a PrivoxyWindowOpen(), just change it to open().
Privoxy's great, but it can be annoying at times.

edit a third time: dammit. sys should be imported implicitely. think I'll have a little chat with Guido.

edit a fourth time: knocked it up a notch. BAM!

{sigh}: finished 100% a-ok, I think. I just gave myself a new game with 100% techs!

Is the game worth buying?, it looks all funny and wicked, but an RTS? Oo
You have no gui or anything (=>Age of Empires menu where you select building options and all)
I have played Uplink from Introversion and i know they produce good games, but i can't really poll this one ](*,)

download the demo if you're not sure about it. I personally love the game. it's native, runs pretty well, and the built-in editor makes it easy to create your own levels and mods.
