    Hi guys, can hacker read data when game is running?

    For example: In game, I create an public array [0,9,6,6,9,0,8,9,0,7]. This script was attached to an object in game.

    I wonder that, if I build this game in WebGL/Andoir/iOS, could hacker read this array?

    Thank you.

    Anything stored on the user's computer whether in the processor, in memory, or in storage can be read by the user.

    a WebGL build is entirely downloaded on to the end-user's system, so nothing you do in WebGL can ever be secure from the end-user. Typically, if you need something unhackable, then you need a separate server-side application that your game connects to.
