james3mg Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 (edited) Here's a fun (difficult) time-wasting game I wrote that'll get you thinking!It's based on http://n.nfshost.com, but I've gone through and changed a number of the puzzles I didn't like, or that relied on a web-based interface (viewing source, downloading CSS files, etc). Should be fun, it's a pretty simple program, so hopefully won't have any bugs . I only EnCoded() it because I don't want to spoil the fun of the original website's owner by putting the answers on a forum where it would be able to be google'd. Also, that way you can't cheat (as easily).This will keep track of your score, of course that's only interesting the first time you play it. You WILL need to look up stuff online...that's not cheating. It's only cheating if you look for the ANSWERS, rather than the METHOD . Wikipedia will be your friend. You'll also need a calculator that has bases, or to use Windows' calc.exe program in "scientific" mode.Have fun...good luck!numbers_Obfuscated.au3 Edited July 24, 2006 by james3mg "There are 10 types of people in this world - those who can read binary, and those who can't.""We've heard that a million monkeys at a million keyboards could produce the complete works of Shakespeare; now, thanks to the Internet, we know that is not true." ~Robert Wilensky0101101 1001010 1100001 1101101 1100101 1110011 0110011 1001101 10001110000101 0000111 0001000 0001110 0001101 0010010 1010110 0100001 1101110 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james3mg Posted July 24, 2006 Author Share Posted July 24, 2006 Wow, thats difficult. Couldn't even give a hint?Well, I could build in a hint button, but I was trying to keep in the spirit of the original game, which is pretty darn hard and has no hints, and even less instruction than this script.If there's enough demand, I'll make a slick interface for hints to cascade down and deduct points ... or something...At some point though, if everyone likes this enough, I'd like to split from the original game and kind of "make it my own" with a few more features, dynamic questions so it stays fresh, etc... so I don't feel confined within the "spirit of the original game" forever.We'll see...P.S. Average times for figuring out the original website game are averaging 5-8 hours on most sites I've seen. And yes, I did it without 'cheating' (in less time too, though I think most people on this forum are computer savvy enough to beat that 'average' time).

I wrote all the questions and answers to them down if you'd like me to send them to you to verify . wow...nice job then! You'd just usually see someone go through and remember the right answers, then run it again to get a score of 100% - pretty impressive you got everything right the first time!
