Looking at the clues you have so far, you go to the house of a
suspected criminal organization agent. You do not have any
hard evidence so far, so you decide to tap the phone lines in
hope of finding more evidence.
There are alarms and phone lines at the right side of the
screen. You have to cut power to the phone lines without
giving power to the alarms.
 |
You do that by switching the
chip you have in your hand with a chip on the circuit board.
|
 |
Some chips have a gray square around them to show that they are
fixed and cannot be replaced. |
 |
Others are marked by an
question mark showing that you cannot be sure what kind of chip it is
until you replace it. |
If the criminal agents in the house are unsuspicious, you
will get 10 minutes to cut power to the 5 phone lines. If
they are on maximum alert, you might get only 3 minutes!
The same kind of puzzle can be played when following suspects
from an allied criminal organization to find out where there
house is located, if prefer to put a tracking device on their
car instead of following it.
Done:
- Chip cursors: to show the chip you have in hand, the
mouse cursor changes into it. You simply have to click
on the chip you want to switch it.
- Power lines: Determines where there is power and adjust
the display accordingly.
- Alarms and Disconnected phone line: Detects if an
alarm is sounded and if more phone lines are disconnected.
You get a message when an alarm is sounded or when all phone
lines are disconnected.
- Countdown: You get a countdown of the time you have left
to disconnect the phone lines. Once the time is up,
you get a message indicating how many phone lines where
tapped.
- Sound effects
- Background music (.mp3) in played from the
Music\Electronic folder, but none are in there by default.
Left to do:
- Car tracking devices: Replace the phone icons by
tracking devices when you want to track a criminal to his
safehouse.
- Difficulty levels: The chips available and the number of
unknown and fixed chips depend on the difficulty level.
- Icon for the window.
- Appropriate music that is free to redistribute.
Ideas for improvements:
- I find that using a mouse for this activity makes it
much easier. To make it a bit harder, some chips could
remain unknown when picked up.
