In this post I will cover the design of the badge challenge game.
This year the first idea was a puzzle that would need people to work together, a puzzle that can’t be solved by one person alone.
The plan was to have hex code on the badges so people had to collect the set.
After much discussion with Alzeih, we decided that badges with part of the code on each badge overlapping with the next.
EG:
AAAABBBB
BBBBCCCC
CCCCDDDD
This could then become the base of a one-time pad.
The hex on the badge can be random, so long as we create the correct hex for the other half of the one-timepad.
For the people who are following along at home the codes on the badges are:
143A30B84E5C
B84E5C3FD7BC
3FD7BC78D950
78D950A27BCD
A27BCDC18528
C18528B1799D
B1799D79082A
