[crossfire] Game change proposals

[Nicolas Weeger]

Hello.


Finally had time to make a small POC of a mini-game related to lockpicking :)


You can see it at http://nicolas.weeger.org/lp/index.html

On the top, your picks. Bottom, the lock components to pick (left to right).


Aim: use the picks in the correct order to pick the 5 lock components.


Red square is currently selected pick.

Arrows move selection (wrapping on limits). Space rotate (active pick is the 
right part). Enter uses on lock component.


To make it easier to figure, on the bottom you have a number (how many 
components you picked), then 2 numbers, currently selected pick's value and 
next lock component's value, so just match them and hit enter :)


Obvious improvements would be better graphism, and chance of breaking a pick 
if you use the wrong one! And of course removing the hints :D



Would thid kind of minigame be fun for CF?



Regards


Nicolas
