You don't need to capitalize clipboard, you don't need to capitalize match, you don't need to capitalize string, don't capitalize game or program (program is only spelled with one m), no need to capitalize event, again only one m in program, only one o in loses, you're welcome.
as a game developer and university student doing game design and development. watching them try to understand how a game can do this was extremely entertaining.
@@EthanfromEngland- It must be quite difficult to live with the kind of demeanor that makes you act like that when someone else has an opinion. You may want to try turning off your computer and taking a break, if youtube comments upset you or make you uncomfortable. There are extensions available that stop you from viewing comments at all. I hope this helps!
How it can tell these things: - Every application has access to the clipboard - it just periodically checks to see that the right string is on the clipboard. - The directory, that's either the directory from which the game was launched, or the current active directory in something or other. I don't know enough about windows for that one. - Being minimised, it simply checks for when the window doesn't have focus (again, a thing that every application can theoretically do - this is why many games pause when you alt+tab from them). I think that's it for weirdness in this game? Anyway, point is that it's not actually crazy, it's just unexpected trickery :)
@@johnnygreenface But if it actually triggers an epileptic fit in someone then that's a big problem, there are laws about handling this sort of thing because people can actually die if it's improperly handled, and if it negatively affects someone then the yogscast as a whole could get into some deep legal issues.
please dont edit in jumpscares. i have panic disorder n this is the last place i would assume to be careful not to cause myself harm. i let wooden boy pass bcus it wasnt a sound jumpscare most of the time n it became more of a meme after a while. but thats honestly rly low. dont do it again please. i dont want to have to stop watching toms videos because im too scared ill fucking lose my shit unexpectedly.
@CptScottOakField Did you ask permission to come be obnoxious on the internet, or was your mother too busy cleaning your diapers to notice that you'd snuck into the computer room after your bedtime?

Didn't need the flashing colours induced by Tom. Didn't need the shock from the editor. If you're going to give epilepsy warnings, please also give scare ones as well.
All the computer stuff is readable by the system, which can usually be accessed from code by importing the System library. Theres no hackery involved. Probably.
Anyone else remember that 3D/2D perspective game Lewis and Simon played years back that you tillted the camera angle to make lines line up and run the blue dude across? I wonder what happened to that game
@@Dramn_ I understand you're trying to make a point about how life is naturally dangerous and we shouldn't restrict our experiences just because it might be slightly dangerous or uncomfortable to some, but I'd also like to point out that people have the choice to go and experience jumpscares and get scared whenever they want watching a horror movie. Obviously it varies from person to person but this genuinely ruined the video for me, it's not scary, it's just extremely distracting trying to watch a video and constantly anticipating that there'll be another goddamn screamer, and all this just for a dumb gag at the audience's expense. It's just a shitty thing to do
With the copy the phrase level i'm think there is a windows function that stores what you have in your control c clip board, so its probably as simple as making a call for that function then checking it against a string with the phrase in.
Has an epileptic warning over the flashing epileptic lights. Joking aside I don't know if the face cam lights were enough to trigger it for anyone... Hopefully not or this would be along the line of "Peanut Butter MAY contain peanuts." ...it better contain peanuts.
How does it know? Well, the same way it works with any application, where you copy from one program to another. The Windows clipboard API. Games don't usually make use of it, for obvious reasons, but there's zero reason why they can't just use the API to read what's in the clipboard. As this very game demonstrates.
@@johnnygreenface Fear and shock aren't the same thing. They are completely unnecessary and 100% ruin the vibe of the video. This isn't a horror game, it was unexpected.
Its only as if a game could somehow know whats on your clipboard, or if it gets minimized, etc. P.S. it can also tell if you click out of the window or if you close the game
Everyone's complaining about the jump scares but that epilepsy "warning" could have actually caused a seizure, you should be more careful with things like that, there are broadcasting rules on this sort of thing because it's a public health risk. I hope for everyone's sake that this doesn't harm anyone here but be more careful in the future about that, try and be conscious of the health and safety of others and maybe think about why such warnings actually exist. Overall the content is good but just bare this stuff in mind, it's a serious issue.
Jumpscares are ALSO risky to many individuals health. I remember reading a reddit thread about someone whose heart could stop if they were given a good spook. Plenty of people with panic disorders get set off by sudden loud noises/flashing lights/fast movements/etc and can seriously injure themselves AND others during a panic attack. Both are equally dick moves. For being a channel that promotes chill and relaxing game play, the jumpscares are a super low blow.
@@aphexinc The people this affects already have to live a limited life, people with epilepsy can't do things like drive because of the risk it brings to their life and the lives of others, the official rules on warnings for epileptic triggers exist for the same reason, to prevent causing potentially lethal harm to others. All of this of course isn't going to convince someone devoid of empathy so I'll be more clear on my other point, if someone died or was hospitalised because of this, Tom and Josh, and potentially the Yogscast as a whole could get in some serious legal trouble, and if the Yogscast as a whole was unable to protect them it could see Tom and Josh land in prison for either potentially assault (digital actions can count to that if it causes bodily harm), or manslaughter.

Love these videos, please be careful with, like, balancing the editing I guess? Like the jumps ares and the epilepsy warning that is epilepsy inducing. No hate, love you guys
I didn't hate you until the second one. Now I do.
I concur.

Thank you for telling me there's a second one. Now I know to stop watching any of his videos.

I almost got a heart attack tho... no warning about that lmao

was prepared for the first jumpscare, but the second one caught me

Got the second jumps are while reading theres a second jumpscare:) yay
Fuck those jumpscares, gave me a nasty jolt.
"is there a keylogger installed?" Yeah that's how it knows what keys you're pressing
9:55 oof.
That aged well..
There's no keylogger... Every software on your computer has access to your copy-buffer if it is focused!
Thumbs down because of the jumpscares. If I wanted to shit myself I'd eat nothing but laxatives and corn.

disliked for the jumpscares without warning, wtf.
Given my anxiety, I definitely hate you for those. Just seeing that level was enough to trigger it but then YOU DID THE THING.
This episode, Josh lost the trust of everyone watching.
That first jumpscare got me... the second didn't seem to have the same impact.
Im so glad I dont get jumpscared. I'd be fuckin pissed lol.
How it knows is probably not a keylogger. It probably just checks the contents of your clipboard for a string containing the phrase.
*epilepsy warning* I'm in a room and the light is dead and just flickers constantly
It checked what's in your clipboard and there's an easy check for if you're you active window.
This was a lot of fun, can't wait to see more.
