− | '''Cheating''' in [[video game]]s is when a player creates an [[advantage|advantage]] for themself beyond what normal [[gameplay]] would allow. In general, [[cheating]] is breaking the rules to get an [[Fairness|unfair]] advantage. One form of cheating is using "[[Glitch|Glitches]]" in a [[Open world]] or Shooter game where a person may find a wall or a piece of ground they can walk through, like being able to walk through a wall on a certain angle or from one side but not be able to walk back through that same wall the other way, an example of this being effective would be in an ambush situation, the other person may not be able to shoot at you but you may be able to shoot them, "virtually" making you partially invincible. Another form of cheating is by changing a games code structure. In other world, it is included in an existing [[video game]] as if it is from that [[video game]] and continues to work in this way. If we look at it structuarry, it comes up with a very different work. | + | '''Cheating''' in [[video game]]s is when a player creates an [[advantage|advantage]] for themself beyond what normal [[gameplay]] would allow.

| These kind of advantages can often be activated by entering [[code]]s. A set of '''cheat codes''' may have been written into the game's [[programming]] by the game's [[Video game developer|developers]]. When entered, a code activates a corresponding advantage. Cheat codes can also be created by added [[software]], called a [[Trainer (games)|game trainer]]. Players can also cheat by taking advantage of [[software bug]]s in the game. | | These kind of advantages can often be activated by entering [[code]]s.

− | some games have "activatable cheat codes" preset on the actual game such as Speed Racer, or the Lego series of Video games and by playing the game you actually get told cheat codes to put in to be able to unlock advantages, these are different from "Cheating" because the games developers "want" you to use these types of cheat codes and these types of cheat codes are only useable in [[Single-player video game|single player]] games

| Another way of video game hacks is using applications called ''exploits.'' like WiiBrew, which access a video games coding and allows you to completely change its code from adjusting a "left' button to go "up" instead all the way to completely recreating the game. | | Another way of video game hacks is using applications called ''exploits.'' like WiiBrew, which access a video games coding and allows you to completely change its code from adjusting a "left' button to go "up" instead all the way to completely recreating the game. |
