This was a really well-explained hack, I loved reading this, well done! So fascinating to see that bot logic runs client-side, that the code just creates two 'seats' for players to connect to, and you exploited all that info in a masterful way. Bravo!

Would this jot also mean you could get the bot to play your game for you? I don’t know how good bots are but it seems like this could be an issue
