The above is not shopped. Here's what I found out:
This seems to be a single-pointer deal, but I don't have the necessary knowledge to confirm this. All I know is that the game accepts categories, answers and questions of any length, screen space permitting. It could be that each category has its own pointer, but they are randomized so study by observation is rather difficult. If this can be confirmed, a ripper/inserter becomes an option, even more so if there's only one pointer for everything. The lowercase parts of the questions are ignored by the parser, and '\' is an alternatives separator. For example, to the answer "When he lived in Lilliput, the natives gave him meat & drink enough for 1,728 of their own people", the answer is "who is Lemuel Gulliver". It's stored as "lemuel GULLiVeR", making "GULLIVER", "LEMUEL GULLIVER", "GULLVR" and "SDFHEWSKGVHLLARVQQAR" equally correct. Punctuation and spacing is ignored -- those are only stored so the correct answer can be given, first converted to uppercase. The first two characters define the question prefix: 01CANADA maps to "What is Canada?" and "08CRuSADES" to "What were the Crusades?" Why type it out like that? Probably to make writing the questions easier. Following are the two first categories.
The following conversion rules would be in effect: * Each category takes exactly thirteen lines: * Shorthand name * Longhand name * Five times an answer and question * Whitespace * Everything that is not a question is converted to uppercase. * Newlines become 0x00. * ~ becomes 0x0D. * / becomes \. * ? in a question is removed. * Question prefixes are looked up and replaced ("what were the CRuSADES" -> "08CRuSADES")

That answer reminds me of the night I was streaming Family Feud Deluxe Edition (SNES), and one of my more bizzare answers filtered to a totally unrelated correct answer.
I don't remember the category, but I remember I entered "Hot dicking" (in reference to Dr Tran) and it filtered to "Cake." Hilarity ensued, and my whole Skype call asked if I was recording... Sadly, I wasn't. I want to prove that it happened. :/ Sorry to derail. |

I must say, even though it had just as little seriousness to it, I prefer the reactions on byuu's board.
Again with the Family Feud Anyway, I found out that there's not just a single pointer in play here. I shifted all the categories BUT the first up two bytes and cut off the last two bytes on the last question, then started a new game. The categories all had their first two letters cut off, but internally they were fine. And I can't find any pointers ____________________ Wife make lunch - Shampoo Opera - give it a spin Spare some of your free time? <GreyMaria> I walked around the Lake so many goddamn times that my sex drive was brutally murdered Kawa rocks — byuu |
