I am cheating hard core on Pokemon Go

Ok, so I'm not doing it intentionally, but if I leave the game running while I'm at work, the building fucks with the GPS coordinates perfectly so I can get about 20km walking credit for sitting at my desk. With the obscene amount of walking PkmGo makes you do, this has offered me almost no real advantage. Still, since this game is just an exercise tracker paired with a king-of-the-hill minigame, I can take most of the work out of the game and just play the minigame.

So for conversation sake, what are your favorite exploits and cheats?

Pokemon Go... Been a while since I last did anything with that!

Although I did a lot of honest walking and traveling for the application, I occasionally used a GPS spoofer. There's a pokestop right around the corner where I live, but when I'm at home I'm just out of range, so I'd nudge my position a good 5 meters and get some easy pokeballs.

Another favorite cheat of mine is messing with mobile games that employ energy systems, although I don't play any mobile games anymore.

One game I messed around with was a Sonic Boom infinite runner, you could unlock characters by doing insane amounts of grinding for weeks on end, but I thought that was a bit excessive so I hacked the needed resources into the game.

Another game I messed around with was Frozen Free Fall, a bejeweled clone. This was when the game was just out and daily item boosts weren't implemented yet, I made good progress in the game, but later levels were less about skill and more about luck, getting good board configurations was key to winning some levels. So I hacked the game to get unlimited energy and unlimited turns.

I once wrote an AHK script that detected colors at certain pixels and pressed buttons automatically, which enabled me to play a DDR-type minigame in this MMO, Age of Wushu, overnight. I was the 2nd ranked bard-equivalent on the server, thanks to this.
