code_crack

• A code-cracking puzzle gizmo

• First, the user must pulse activate_puzzle - this randomizes the code and resets the attempt counter.

• The user may pulse activate_puzzle a limited amount of times again to retry it.

• Next, the user needs to input a code.

• Imagine a row of knobs, each of them with 10 notches, and a head that rotates the knobs.

• Pulsing cycle_position moves the head right,

• pulsing cycle_digit makes the head bump the knob by 1 notch.

• If the head reaches the rightmost position, then cycle_position resets it, moving it back left.

• Similarly, pulsing cycle_digit when the knob is already in the rightmost notch resets it to the leftmost one.

• Finally, the user has to pulse try_crack to check if their input is correct.

• If it's correct, a reward is dispensed and the puzzle gets deactivated.

• If it's not, some sort of feedback is provided.

• If the user takes too many attempts to solve the code, they are punished.

• There may be restrictions set upon the code.

• These are checked upon code generation and cracking attempt.
