Eggs out of season
One of the things that I’m enjoying most about Chain Factor, besides the incredibly addictive game, is the code hints/easter eggs that you get sometimes that show up as an “error message”. Like this one:
ERROR 003
LEVEL 3 / CODE NNN
-
UPPER BOUND FOR BASIC SCORES? * ok i’ve got to stop playtesting and start coding. i’m starting to see * colored discs everywhere i look. do we know the upper limit on * basic mode scoring? i’m thinking about memory allocation: * -F
-
No we don’t. Figuring that out is the players’ job. * * Here’s another to do: find someone in the Minneapolis area to check * on the OOH which should be up: 494 and hwy 77 - might need some * searching around. * /s
Update Finally got error 1 again:
ERROR 001
LEVEL 1 / CODE NNN
-
MEDIA MATRIX * s, this printout is unreadable - i’m missing half the entries in the * locations column: * -F
-
Yes, actually it would be useful if you could go out and confirm that * these are up: * LA Century N/L E/O Aviation - should be obvious. * 1815 Hawthorne 90278 - not sure about this one, you may have to * look around a bit. * /s
-
can’t wait to see your mad media jamming skillz * -F
-
We’re going to put Primacy to shame - not just sticking up a few * posters but appropriating the media machine on a grand scale. * /s
ERROR 007
LEVEL 1 / CODE D
-
++Power Outage?++ * F, why is MAX_POWERS set to 1 here, what is this? * /s
-
this is totally the idea, one power, no greys, but garbage starts at * max frequency - fast and furious, on ly the stong survive!
-
This wasn’t in the spec. I get the idea, but next time let me know * before you implement something like this. * /s
-
ok boss.
