I don't think so. If you reveal the current state of the competition, I may be able to cheat. For example, I may be able to write a bot that plays the game perfectly. Also, any probabilistic events would be revealed at the moment they are rolled, not at the moment they are revealed through the GUI. Consider mine sweeper or card competitions. > This is a restriction but I do not think it is DRM because the most > important purpose of DRM is not to disclose data. Well, I am not hooked up to this term. Call it multi-party computing if you want. For me, they are synonymous.
