The last paragraph is especially creepy. You can be treated as an animal, whenever they please.

And the last paragraph is the main problem. The ship would get torn apart from lone atoms and to actually stop yourself you need an exponential amount of fuel, because you need to accelerate ( much more than )half of it just to stop yourself.

Even if you protect yourself from relativistic atoms, they still create a drag. And that happens before you reach 0.99c.

Just impose rules that are trivial for humans to solve reliably and not for computers.

Copy paste is disabled remember...

As for the rest, that is up to the developer with more resources than his opponents.

A full chapter is dedicated to dynamic type checking.

If that isn't acceptable for your project, don't use it. Successful languages that don't have compile time checks, show that this problem is irrelevant.

You can always make the game itself harder on top of all the anti-bot tricks.

The game has to be only hard and expensive enough to hack so that the effort isn't worth the result.

Of course with unlimited resources you can pretty much solve anything, if you assume those, then everything is easy to solve. But assuming that is simply ignorant.

There are simple ways to make that very hard. The first one is to remove copy paste.

It is crashing all the time, it should be back soon.

Even with all that I still keep coming back.

But it almost impossible to write a polynomial in under 60 seconds without any tools, that follows the desired path.
