I should have said that anti-cheat software only works (and makes sense) when playing online games. If you are making an interactive platform game like Mario then you would have to look on what to prevent. You will want to prevent teleporting, getting more guns/ammo/lives or any other 'equipment' and flying for example. CRC is checking whether data came to the other side without missing (too much) data. You might want to do some encryption indeed.
