Hello! I've been wondering if it's possible to make a Cyber Programm. A program that blocks a PC till your client pays. So then you would unlock it. I read the rules, that no one can post a program that blocks a PC. So i'ma try to make it myself. It's to make my mini cyber. Which i have 4 Computers. Well it's kind of hard to explain since i speak mostly spanish. In small words... can Game Maker block a PC and recieve a message (mplay_*) to unlock it's self, or do i need a special DLL? Thanks! If this is the wrong spot to post this topic. Please remove it. Thanks

I think your better with a C++ program, i wont respond to the above question since i don't want to get banned or such....

do you mean to say you want a code where you want to register your program?
then it unlocks if you typed in the correct verification code?

otherwise why not just use the standard os lock with a password

What do you mean by "block a PC"?

I'm not sure I understand the question. It sounds suspiciously like it belongs in the novice Q&A. Moar information, plz!!

[Silver Scratch]

Oh, sorry for my bad inglish. You've been in a Cyber Cafe? You have to pay to use a computer. Yeah, i want to make a program that does that. Of corse, made with GM

Oooooooooh... No can do, I'm afraid.

You were right in your first post, that you can't post programs like that. You also aren't allowed to even discuss them. Please see Tepi's post up above for a refresher on the rules.

No hard feelings. G'luck!
