How do you make a Password system for Puzzle levels?

[Tubz]

Bobby, and Derby have tried to explain this to me over JJ2 but I didn't understand. So I think it's better to post it here on the JCF. So how do you make it, I know for one thing that you have to know binary.

What kind of password system do you mean? Like a warp code?

If they said that you need to know binary, I don't know the validity of that :p (Although I can envision a sort of system which would make use of binary concepts)

Maybe explain a little further on what you mean by a password system. Do you mean something so that only the person who knows the code can get in to a part of a level?

[EvilMike]

Basically I use a binary system in a couple of levels I made, and in a recent test level I have created a password system where you set a series of triggers between 1 and 0. The right combination brings you to the level select room.

Ah...
*gets his notebook*
Go on,people,explain!

[Super Saiyan]

interesting :)

[atesoRJOL]

is this a combination of warps or something else?

[Tubz]

I was wondering this... I finished building part of the password system. But I was wondering if I could make it so that if people enter a password they can continue from certain parts in the level. Like this:


011110000010101000 = Level 5 continue
101101011010101010 = Level 10 continue
011101010101001000 = Level 15 continue

and so on...

Is this possible?

[Bobby aka Dizzy]

Yes, something like that is possible, although your codes are rather long. I would encourage you to use multiples of 4 so your codes an be read as hex numbers as well.

[Tubz]

Well if it was 4/5 letters long it would be kinda easy to hack. So I kept it at 12, anyways I managed to figure out the system, and I built 2/7 of them in the level. I decided i'll use the same 0/1 concept but just give the people the whole number password when they reach the fifth of the series of levels. But I made some fairly hefty rules, with the system.

[Fawriel]

Could you guys explain a little more clearly(since I'm a total wash-out in math:p )?

[Trafton AT]

I think that part of this conversation was held out of the message board, and there are a few parts missing here...

[URJazzCC]

There's definately stuff missing here. But anyone who's good at math and triggers could make this. it's fairly simple. Well, you need to know binary. If you know that, then it's really simple. Though the system can get big (Depending on how you make it)
