update: this post has been moved to my blog

Welcome! You might be reading this out of curiosity, or because you want to improve your programming capabilities to stop people from exploiting your JS games. Given that the first thing I do when I open a new incremental is open the terminal and start messing around with your games, I figured it's about time to write something about what I see and how I break your games. Consequently, I'll describe ways you can protect your games from the basic code manipulations I perform. Some might say "you're just ruining the game for yourself!" while I'm going to turn around and say "I don't care" -- that's not the point of this!

NB: This will only apply to vanilla JS applications, which I see more commonly. Frameworks like AngularJS and such are out of scope for this post. Advanced techniques such as using a debugger, while slightly more on topic, will also be disregarded for now.
