Level 15 (exceptionalCrossing.js)?

I'm stuck on Level 15 of Untrusted.

I've gotten this far with no actual knowledge of Javascript beyond knowing C and assuming things are the same. I see no possible solution to this puzzle without some trick of the language I don't know about- no matter what I put in there, player.killedBy() is going to be called, and the Professor is going to die.

Any hints?

Best Answer

Actually you can pass the level without throwing any exception, just hacking the code:

[line 32] player.killedBy('
');},'onCollision':function(player){map.getWidth(
);

Just replacing the "onCollision" action again with a function that doesn't do anything.

Then you can walk on water!!

Of course, the hint is in the name.

You've got to throw an exception.

Answer 3

I like this way:

player.killedBy(function() { throw 'I am Jesus';} ());

Answer 4

also u can use infinite recursion..

player.killedBy((function(){x=function(){x();};x();})());
