- travmatt 7y agoIt’s a good thing I never realized that, although at the time I was fascinated with self-modifying code. I did figure out that our home economics budgeting game stored it’s data as base64 encoded json - it was pretty funny watching my teacher trying to understand how I suddenly became a millionaire.
- chrisMyzel 7y agohaha very nice - but some devs out there still believe today that base64 is encrypted - think I've seen entire websites around it warning.that it is not...think teachers should be trained to find people like you and me and realize how much of worth is behind those early hacking skills
