[edit] HackScript
HackScript's syntax is similar to that of C. It contains many predefined functions that are essential to scripting in the game, and it also allows you to define your own functions.
[edit] Attacking
Attacking is one of the most important skills in HackWars. You must know how to attack, and do it well.
[edit] Redirecting
Redirecting is a skill similar to attack. It involves connecting to an opponent's Redirecting port in an attempt to steal resources. Unlike an attack, where you can perform a malicious action upon completion, you steal commodities incrementally as you perform the Redirection. These commodities can be sold in your store and/or used to repair hardware. To perform redirection you must acquire a Redirect script. These can be purchased from players and NPCs.
[edit] Repair
AGP and PCI cards can be installed on your computer to provide powerful bonuses. Over time, however, you will find that these cards degrade and provide less of a bonus. You can use your repair skill, along with commodities acquired via Redirecting, to repair your cards.
[edit] Challenges
Challenges are a good way for a novice to get a handle on programming. At the same time advanced programmers can put their skills to the test on the higher level challenges. Completing challenges gets you experience and cash.
[edit] Hardware
All the hardware in hackwars determines the power of your system and how much it can run at any one time. There are several pieces of hardware that can be upgraded to increase the power and capacity of your computer system.
[edit] Firewalls
Firewalls help to protect you from attackers. A port with a firewall installed will reduce the amount of damage the attacker will do to it each time it is hit. The stronger the firewall, the less damage the attacker will do as a result.
[edit] Watches
Watches are used to protect your system, and tell you when people scan or attack you -- even if you're offline! Watches can be used to log the IPs of the players who scan or attack you, or perform a counter-attack against the attacker.
[edit] Merchanting
Merchanting is all about money. The better you are at merchanting, the more money you get, and the less money the bank gets.
