EDIT: Made a version 2, which is slightly harder: https://www.dropbox.com/s/wqv32vzpy5ivz ... 2.sub?dl=0
I was a lil' bored, so decided to delve into circuits again. (Woo, enjoying a game for everything but it's main attraction of submarines)
It's a time bomb. In order to disarm it, you have to go full hollywood - snipping wires. No water pellets to destroy this circuitry. It's designed with all real-life limitations in mind. The only difference between this circuity and what might be found in real bombs is: This one needs no power to operate, and I've hidden the actual detonators and explosives so you can't access them, as that'd simply be too easy.
TL;DR you have between 49-99 seconds to disarm the bomb. I'll go ahead and explain the basics of bomb defusing;
1. You can stop the timer. This is the most obvious way, but it's also the hardest, because one unexpected/uncontrolled signal may trigger the bomb.
2. You can try to figure out the password, or even just guess it. It's 4 binary digits labelled A-B-C-D at the bottom. It's randomly generated each game. Guessing correctly will disarm the bomb. Guessing incorrectly will obliterate you.
3. If worst comes to worst (such as being past the minimum threshold of 49 seconds) what harm could cutting random wires do?
Anti-tampering measures are extremely hard to implement. The two main methods I used were:
-Using 2 of the more critical things and comparing them. If one is different to the other, then it's obviously been tampered with.
-Identifying a value that would always be the same as / different to another value, then use the wonder of XOR gates to make sure everything is going as expected.
So yeah, thats it. I just mucked around for a couple of hours to make this, enjoyed making it, and I'm curious whether anyone is able to disarm it or not.
(If you do disarm it, I'd be interested to hear how)
Download, incase you're curious (I mainly made it just cause I was bored and interested, but may aswell share it:) https://www.dropbox.com/s/0p6w6cbqpep3d ... l.sub?dl=0
