If we can root an Android device or edit the .apk and inject an exploit what are the chances of it actually hacking the Switch Console remotely? Would we one day be able to hack the Switch without even touching....the Switch?
That will never happen. There's no way to inject code through the voice chat app.
Do we even know how the app works, and in wich server does it connect to, and the checking it does to see if everything is fine?
If the server constantly checks the app and the connection, it's impossible to bypass it.
I don't know anything about the Parental Controls app, but it might be the same. I can't see any function that would compromise the console itself.

Neither of those apps communicate with the Switch directly, only the servers AFAIK, and very little data is sent back to the Switch from either of them. So the chances are slim.
That makes sense. Even if we successfully injected an exploit into the app it wouldnt even make its way through the servers. All this time I was under the impression that it was a direct connection. The Switch Online app has little to no lag so I thought that.

Looks like I've become popular. But I'm not trying to annoy you guys or anything. I'm just asking 'What if we did this?' so we can figure out new ways to hack the consoles.
How would it interface directly with the Switch while still connected to your home wifi network?...
Nintendo Engineer: "Let's put the code that runs on the switch in the APK that runs on the phone!"
The same way the New 3DS could connect to a computer wirelessly.

That wouldn't be necessary, would it?
In all seriousness, no. There could still be a crash maybe on the data sent to the switch, but im 99.9% sure that they thought about that when coding it, and made it so the switch would correctly handle it, or safely crash.

I didn't mean exactly the same way. But the phone transfers data (such as playing times in Par Con app) to the Switch, so there is a pathway.

I think Game streaming should work like this.... Local Hardware able the run the game fine, game engine and common assets stored locally, all FMV and music and textures could be streaming+1 -

Or free government supplied high speed internet be nice also. Like Obama care. Xdqwerty that's cool, its time consuming but rewarding once done or playable, to see what you've made from scratch. Animations take forever, but worth it.+1 -

and the visual aspect of the game is quite crude (the sprite that looks best is that of the protagonist just because he is a stickman with sunglasses) -

There is a bullets behaviour you assign to your character, that makes the code easier, under "behaviours"

Xdqwerty:
i meant that when the character is pointing to the right, the bullets spawn where they should, but when he is on the right, they move to the right but the spawn point is incorrect

Itch.io has lots of free assets also. Under the bullets behavior tab, there is a "rotate bullets" option, can try that. Or in the code can try
- fire bullet Player.X(PlayerDirection) -

That's cool tho, I'm proud of you going back to it, not giving up. It is difficult at first to learn, but fun once you get the hang of it. I think I've watched every tutorial video there is, but I still struggle sometimes to get stuff to work right. But gotta keep trying dif things, and eventually you will get it right.+1

I live maybe 3 minutes from a Dairy Queen, so I would just go there for ice cream anything anyways. I usually get the Oreo Blizzard, or a Peanut Buster Parfait.
