I understand, it just feels silly that you can literally cheat an entire run with no proof against it
I know it is fairly tedious, but how else would you get proof that the runner is not cheating?
That sounds good, but what about all the world records that are just replay codes? What should we do with them?
For individual levels, turbowarp poses a lot of cheating possibility.
Let me explain:
In the turbowarp advanced settings, you can select a specific framerate to play your game at, say 15 fps, or half speed. This allows for more precision on tight jumps, and more strategies that are faster than the current human ones. However, in the video below, I have demonstrated that playing a replay that was recorded in 15fps at full speed results in a correctly working replay. As I said previously, this could result in some TAS-like runs with no way to prove they were cheated, aside from the fact that they were done on turbowarp.
