HackWars is an online multiplayer game that puts players in the role of a fictional "hacker", running scripts and programs from a virtual computer to steal, trade, and play with other players. The game is pretty unique for its genre, mainly because of the awesome "HackScript" system it contains which allows players to actually write small scripts to have different effects when run in the game.

There is a lot of both NPC and PC interaction in the game, so whether there are many players online or not, there is still fun to be had. A clan is currently being worked on, it costs a large sum of money to put one up, but we'll get there eventually! In the meantime, feel free to ask me if you need a particular file, I can probably find it somewhere and share it with you. There aren't many players on right now, but the developers are still active and working on creating "Hackwars 2", which should be out sometime relatively soon.

PTW, so I don't have to use the slavehack thread to keep up with this.

...I'd just decided to dig up some of my old Corewars stuff.  Now I'm torn about whether to have a look at this instead, once I get the time to look up something new...

I've played HackWarz and it's really worth the time.
It's a bit repetitive after a while though, but hey, what do yu expect from a hacking game?
The ability to """code""" your own programs/virii/games!/... ingame is a real plus.

The game has changed a ton since I last played...a bunch of different networks you can hop to and stuff, and a lot more quests. Still trying to figure out the second part of the Network card quest, if anyone gets there and wants to help out. (Roger whats-his-name)

I'm willing to play even I'm the worst programmer I know if the Bay12 community forms a group on it

Bleh.
I ran out of money from healing my attacker instead of getting more money to get that cpu upgrade finally because the one you start with gives you so very little overhead to spare on letting things get beatup a bit. Any tips besides waiting for daily pay to pop-in?

I can send you a few bucks if you PM me your IP.

That was my only big complaint with the game when I played it a few months ago. I'd still recommend people try it out. It only got boring after 3-4 days of almost constant hacking. Totally worthy time-sink.

Also, big tip: Don't needlessly piss off older players. Some of them can be dicks if you act full of yourself, but most are content to leave you alone if you don't act up too much... until it's too late and you kill their computers! Mwahaha

EDIT: Ahaha, just logged in today after a loooong time, and I had more than 800,000$ in petty cash from NPC redirects. The fact that no one hacked me or the NPCs in that time means the game is pretty much dead though

I keep losing at the first screen, can someone give me a hint?

That looks like the default security question that any self-respecting browser asks before running applications (at least, Java ones). Up to you to decide to accept the 'risk'.

If you're actually confused, tick the accept box of course. Provided you trust the website.

Also, may look in to this, after finals and such.
