In this post I will cover the design of the badge challenge game.<p> 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.<p>
The plan was to have hex code on the badges so people had to collect the set.<p>
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
- 79082AD41C08
