I wana see the results of this, it will show how many extreme hackers there are on the site, and how many newbies.

Newbie: Umm, where do I download the NSMB ROM? And .NET Framework? Oh, okay, got it. Let's move some objects around and make a hack!

Simple: I can make cool new levels, I understand sprites, sprite data, entrances, views, paths and stuff enough to make awesome levels!

Regular: Hey look, custom tilesets! And BGs! And graphics My hack looks custom amd pretty.

Advanced: Yay, I understand how palettes work, and I can do black magic with them. Multi-palette tilesets, blah blah. I can h3x 3d1t c0d35, 1m 50 31337!

Complex: ASM haxx0rz. Nice. I can do interesting short ASM hax0rz. And I dream in h3x c0d35.

Extreme: Hey! I know everything about NSMB. I can trash the world map and code my own. I can make custom bosses!

ComplexAdvanced. I can make graphics, edit the demo, make levels, make backgrounds and more all combined. Yes I did ask a few questions about hacking, but you know.

Well if YOU are complex, then I'm over extreme.
This what you mentioned is not even hacking, it's modding.
Hacking is when you take HxD or any Assembly tool and takatakataka different signs and that's what I did on MKDS scene.
Though I never programmed a single tool, my research surely made it easier to make tools for others. And right now I'm digging in MKDD.
So yeah, I'm Advanced.

Well, the poll is wrong itself. It should be called "How skilled are you" or something like that.
I don't tell that you have no talent but the real hacking is just editing numbers in hex editor. So I can't blame you for your choice.

That is not complex. No. Not. Complex I would say even ASM hacks. Minimum. tsts. What you tell is regular or max is advanced. So pls correct it or do you want that:

I would call myself an extreme hacker, since I am hacking for over 4 years now and I just can do almost everything except of complex ASM hacks. But at least I do know partly how ASM works .

Voted advanced, but this is the kind of poll I think needs to die in a corner because some folks just won't resist the temptation to overrate themselves.
I consider extreme hacker as someone who can handle ASM well enough and put it in practice on an almost-daily basis.
If we go by that definition the only ones, on the top of my head, who are extreme hackers are  Dirbaio,  Arisotura and Ninjifox, and that's it.

But that does not change my point that :
_really good hackers are usually recognized as time goes, and rightfully so;
_you can tell if a hack is good or garbage;
So the point of this thread is kinda moot...

I voted Complex.
Extreme would be Ninjifox.

Sadly I don't have as much free time as him

I voted regular. Any tricks I discovered were either editor tricks or testing specific combinations of sprites until they worked properly, and any hacking I've done was through the editor.

I think I'm good with level design, but that isn't hacking.

EDIT: As of this edit, 10 people voted advanced or above and only 4 people voted regular or lower. A lot of people think very highly of themselves.

Well... I think I'm simple or regular. I'm not sure about it.
I can edit Backgrounds, Tilesets, ehm.... kinda MvsL-level editing...
But I'm very good in Music Hacking (Midi)

If you voted Complex and I'm worse than you, I would have to go with Advanced but I'm not the average
So what? This poll is kinda strange

I voted Regular because I can only mod. (I can't do ASM Hacks or such things yet )

PS: Well, Hacking MKDS and MKWii at the same time isn't a thing everyone can do, lol. So I would be a bit more than regular.

Well, this poll is rather strange.
I think extreme would be to people who can ASM hack and stuff. Complex should be knowing how the game works, changing stuff like models, music, more advanced use of complex sprites, etc

I Am Probably Around The Complex Level Seeing As I Can Do Asm Hacking And Other Fancy Stuff, But My Laziness Always Ends Up Killing Me. Also Why Is The Thread Title Written In This Annoying And Retarded Fashion?

Newbie. I've never hacked anything in my life. I can compose like a boss though, but I wouldn't count that as hacking...
