Trying to find a way to safe store game data into my db, but all ways that i can think of are hackable as far as i understand
I'm using UnityWebRequest POST to web server that handles the data. First and obvious way - just calculate all data ingame and send post to server, but that way after reverse engineering game code some hackers can get that url and way i create post request - not good. Most "safe" way that i figured out would be handle operations on server, like if server gets request to remove equipped item from player equipment and add it to their inventory - check if player has this item equipped first. This would solve most problems, but if players get new items from monster and i need to save new item - how can i check that player got this item legit? Ok, i can generate loot from battle by unique battle seed, and then on server side check if this loot really dropped from this seed - but whats the problem with getting seed format and then just bruteforcing server with a lot of seed and loot combinations?
Hope you could understand me, trying to solve this riddle for couple of days now, and im stuck on one place while solving it.

So I am using React in my frontend, have a database and stuff in my app, now I also want to create a crash minigame like some of you have probably seen before where for example there is some multiplier that starts from 1.00x and goes up and randomly crashes. I want multiple people to be able to join this game, put in their currency and keep it updated for every player on that page at the same time.
Does anyone have an idea for how I would be able to achieve this? Doing this with a database is obviously going to be too slow so what can I possibly do? Should I use websockets to do this?
*I´m new at Flutter/AWS-Amplify so please forgive me in case that's a really basic question
Imagin that I have a course to complete with several.
Course1 with Module 1 to 10, I want to have my app to take into account where each user is in its course and having my UI reflecting those possible states where my user is. (for instance Duolingo tree where you know which learning activities you have finish and which ones you still need to complete)
I have created several tables under my data modeling saved in DataStore, AWS/Amplify, all related to my course.(defining the logical sequence of my course)
Now the point is how to deal with all the possible states where a single user can be and hoe to handle the fact that different users can be at any state of my course...
In my schema.graphql file I´m trying to set authorization rules for my databases but I´m not sure if that´s the way to go.
Thank you very much for the help and time spend to help me.
Update:
I have found a better website for getting the data. If you press my link, you can see in the top of the screen there are multiple future games. I would like to get details about the games that BC Copenhagen plays. The details should be live stats (points, players' points...). Is this possible?
Website: https://basketligaen.dk/
I have a pretty difficult question.
I want to fetch live data from a basketball game website. However, this is very tricky, because first of all:
The live games change all the time, and I'm only interested when one team is playing: "BC Copenhagen". (However, if I get more data from different teams, that would work as well)
When you click on the list, you get moved to a detailed screen about the live game. And this is the data I'm interested in.
So I need to somehow get data from the live games. Is it even possible to do this with Excell commands, or do I need to work with APIs like Zapier or Make? However, I have no idea how to do this.
Do you maybe have to give the Link to the game every time the game starts? But this would really not be a reliable solution.
Note: I'm using this data for a Glide App
Website: https://official.mvpapp.dk/live.php
You could try IMPORTHTML, but the link provided above shows no data for me. Most likely this requires much more scripting than that. Ideally, there would be an API data feed that could be used. Again, I see no data, so I can't say for sure.
A worst case scenario would be using #google-apps-scripts to parse the listing of games, grab the game you want, and get the data from that page. That would be out of scope of a Stack Overflow question.
Intro
I have learn basic programming in the past at school (vb) so i understand the logic behind an application and the way it think.
I started this week to learn python because ... I would like to be able to build what i need without having to smash my head in the keyboard.
In the mean time i would like to resolve my problem and i'm asking to all of you in case someone have seen something somewhere.
I have try to search but not sure how to ask so respond was not relevant.
My Question
I know i can do this in excel but i'm looking for another way if possible.
Does someone knows if there existe an application online or on a mac that give me the ability to:
1- Import data from a csv file and add it in a database. So every day i will log 100 line of data.
2- After that i would like to manage condition related on data store in store in file 2 and 3.
3- That will generated a file 4 where i can see the only important case i have to take care for the day.
I imagine a little bit Access from microsoft but i don't remember if i was able to add parameter on the data i will visualise or condition.
What i'm trying to achieve
I have to process a lot of data manually right now and i'm trying to find a way to take out automatically the recurring problem from a list that i receive every day And there is no other way for me than build my own validation process.
Thank for your help. I'm new but i will try my best to bring something is this community (Python studies lv1, VB -15ans) . For now i'm building my startup And my expertise is more in technical skill on security products and technical support.
In case i'm not alone that would like to be able to do some basic thing like i was needed without having to program from scratch a database program i found those 2 solution yet:

On the twitter website if you click on the connect tab on the top of the screen (https://twitter.com/i/connect) you get this nice little chronological display of your tweets and when new people followed you, etc.
I'm curious what could be the data model behind this to allow them to build a UI like this. I'm trying to recreate it on my own and was wondering if anybody had an idea what it could be? For example, modeling connections between people seems trivial enough, you can use some type of graph, but then being able to keep track of dates when you added somebody or somebody un-followed you seems non-trivial. Any ideas?
