Hello,

I'm working on a game with a timer. And ... I don't want people to cheat by using a printscreen.

I do not want to let the timer in the pause menu too.

I'm working on T1... There is no fonction to detect printscreen actually.

Someone tried on different platform to capture the input directly to interpret it as a printscreen ? It's possible ? Any idea ?

Thanks in advance.

a game screenshot is always possible with printkey or other tools
or by operation system with hardware keys.

if you want compare who is best by a screenshot maybe
save the screenshot within agk and add a watermark or something
that other can not reproduce with photoshop.

or did you mean printscreen give the user more time at playing?
this would result in a different GetFrameTime () or can detect with Timer()

Well, i just want to know when someone use "printscreen" on IOS and Android, like snapchat does. I think i need to do that by with the hardware inputs... (I have no IOS device to try it )

And it's like a weird things to code, because It may be different depending on platform.

My game is a puzzle game with timer, so... I don't want someone to printscreen, then "pause", then open the screen, and do the trick to finish the level quickly

i believe u can use GetResumed()
that means the user leave the app and returns.
then the started puzzle game level is invalid.

and plan b seems to work at android

You could detect for any hardware key presses and hide your game screen whilst they are pressed.
