Gaming in School

I like to play games in school, but all the computers attached to the school main computer can be monitored. When I tried to play a game once, they shut the game down on me, so one time I was reading a book and found out that you can make a fake screen that shows something that isn't happening on your computer to people who are remotely monitoring your computer. I was wondering if anybody could tell me how I can do that.

Figure out how data is sent to the remote server, interrupt, and send it fake or alternative data. It's a lot harder than it sounds though.
Wow, you're so bored that you feel you have to go out of your way just to be able to play games during class? And if it's about breaks, just take a laptop or something like that with you if you feel it's really necessary. It would be much easier to just do something that requires less materials though, like reading a book.
Bring a monitor and plug it in, then play games on the second monitor. Dual Screen ftw
Problem is, I'm still in High School. No laptops, no extra monitors. I also think that it would be something really interesting to learn.

@hanst99: I do read a book usually, but today I was told I could play games and I've been cut off from one of my favorites before, so I wanted to see if it was possible for me to do this. The extra benefit of getting some useful knowledge out of it is also appealing.
You could get an iPhone or some other flatish handheld gaming device and put it in a book and pretend you're reading. If you have an iPad you could pretend you're reading an a fat text book or an encyclopaedia.
I wish I was that cool. No cool smart phones or a Touch.
Your school does not have some idiot sitting at a desk all day watching the computers for games. They have software installed that periodically scans the system for the executables loaded in memory and kills the process if it thinks it is associated with a game. At the very most they have the software ask a human weither or not to terminate the process before doing it. I'm curious about where you read this, was it some Sci Fi novel? Or was it a message board? It sounds like the kind of advice you would get from Yahoo Answers to be honest :\

1.) Get a bootable flash drive.
2.) Install Linux on it.
3.) Boot a PC up on the Linux flash drive.
4.) Play all the crappy flash games you want.
Like Naureg suggested, flash drive is the best way to go.

Check out Portable Apps for games that you can install right to your flash drive.

That's a good idea. I forgot about that. Thanks for that.

@Computergeek: You're probably right. If I truly thought about this for a few seconds, I would have realized that the school would be wasting a lot of money to pay someone to do that. I just accepted that because I didn't care enough to question it. Thanks for showing me my ignorance.

In my robotics club yesterday I was on my laptop and my instructor suddenly took over my student computer (not the laptop) and started messing with me by writing "My name is computer...your programming genius has awakened me..." XD
