I noticed that certain quiz machines load there games over windows. Where would one be able to access the list of questions within the game? would these be held in a text file on the hard disk or a database maybe? if so is it encrypted, or are all the questions hard coded in the program maybe? I am thinking of getting a paragon quiz machine to try and access these files, but don't want to if there is absolutely no point on trying!?
It's an approach that would have had some success in 1986, but thirty (Yikes! Jeepers! Wowsers!) yes thirty years have passed since then and from being swarthy, muscular and irresistible to all but the blindest of women, we are now fat, bald grey and mostly dead.
As Ali Campbell once sang, many rivers to cross and those rivers feature hazards such as encryption, autonomic spoilers, low floats, mental insolipotissinitude and high levels of competition.
In probably the nicest post he has ever done on here, I must echo fatbloke and say 'good luck, until we meet again'

its a pleasure to have such a potent diuretic effect. I've been working on cutting out the bullshit for some time now, but it just comes so naturally to me.
When you compile a binary file, especially a simple game such as most of the ones on the Paragon lineup, you include all the necessary sources and libraries and are left with an executable with no readable information. Before you waste your time buying a Paragon, have a look on Fruit-Emu and try and pull text out of any of the files there. Not impossible, but hardly worth the effort.

Thanks, with the exe, is it still not likely that questions and answers will be on a separate file that the complied source will read or would this file also be built into the exe. could you decompile the exe to get it?
