Hi guys im trying to disabled screen capture when user is playing my game because sometimes they cheat. My game is a wordsearch against clock count and they take a picture of the board find the words and then they get better time wordearch resolved.

There’s a way to do this?

thanks

Hi Rene,

Unfortunately, I can’t think of any good way to prevent that. Corona SDK cannot restrict the user from taking screen-snaps (i.e. by the user pressing the main+power button on iOS, for example).

I’ve seen some word puzzle games that obscure or hide the game board when the app is paused, but that is a different action which can be controlled from within the game itself.
