For those who dont know what the Wiki Game is: The Wiki Game is an online game where you attempt to navigate through wikipedia from a start page to a goal page using as few other pages as possible. Once i was shown the Wiki Game by my friend, and after i realised that I really wasn't very good at it, I looked into how the system worked, and how I could beat it.

|
||
|
|
I couldnt see how the back end worked, but after playing a few games and checking what happened on the page,the way that the game was won was when the iframe was at the final page location, or at least a clone of it on their servers with extra querystring information.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
With this information, I started to write some javascript that would change the location of the iframe to the goal. Fortunately for me, there was already a link to the real winning page, so I could use that to construct the final URL, and direct the iframe to it, meaning I was able to win the game in 1 turn.

<h3>Using the code</h3>
|
||
|
|
<p>In the interest of ease of use, it's very simple to use. Just use the code, and let it do all the work.</p>
|

|
<ol>
|
||
|
|
<li>Start a new game on <a href="http://thewikigame.com/speed-race">Wiki Game</a>, DON'T press start!</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Open your browser's developers console. This will vary from browser.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Open the javascript console</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Paste the compact version of the code there, and execute it (press enter)</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Congratulations, you just won!</li>
|
||
|

As I experienced whilst developing this, the people that play Wiki Game don't tend to like people cheating. There were a lot of people getting very annoyed when I was testing it. So please use this at your own risk! At the moment I don't think there is any kind of banning system, but be warned!
