Hacking in PoG, ways to find a faked run

Luckily, there is only one known way to fake speedruns: speedhack. Speedhack is a hack that slows the game down, making levels easier. To make run look like a legitmately done run, cheater speeds the footage up in the video editor. I need to note that screen with level name and description and "press any key..." popup ignore speedhack, making run harder to fake. Maybe, someone who will read the guide will probably fake one run or two, here are the ways of detecting a faked run:

	- maybe, run without music and sounds can be faked, so be aware of that. With speedhack, music in game distorts, like sounds.
	- if cheater forgots that screen with level name and description and "press any key..." popup ignore speedhack, and these have played faster in the run, reject this run IMMEDEATLY. NO EXCEPTIONS.
	- splats around gooball after landing may not appear. It can be normal, when you jump exactly in the same frame with goo landing. Its hard to catch this timing, and in legitmately done runs it may not appear, or appear, but rarely. In speedhacked runs, it can appear much more times. That can be kinda sus.
	- too awkward movements. If runner is a professional player, it could be normal. Spotting the differences 
between pro gamer movements and movements in a hacked run is almost impossible.
	- faster spinning gears. Really I dont`t know if gear speed is always the same, or it`s being set by randomizer.

Here is an example of a hacked Platforms of Goo run: https://youtu.be/qI8iy0qd2RU

If you suspect run to be illegitmate, ask runner for original footage of run. He should upload it to Google Drive or mega.nz or other website.

Resetting a PoG save file

Each game of Platforms of Goo has 9 save files, but there's no way to clear a save file in game, which you might have to do for certain full-game categories.

To find where the profiles are stored, first find where the "Platforms of Goo" folder is saved with the executable file and game assets. In my case it's in "**C:\Program Files (x86)\Platforms of Goo**". If it's the same for you, all the profiles should be in: "**C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\Platforms of Goo\res**" (replace "USERNAME" with your PC username).
