Ah cool, so gyuri is John Eric Bishop. I was sad to see people repeatedly bruteforce your house when it is so simple to work out. Surprised you still haven't changed it.
Oh yeah, I always wanted to be a Bishop.
People still die in it in the funnyest ways and it generates enough money to change what I want to change...
]]>Did you know that long ago the game used to provide blueprints of houses when you robbed them? Probably the intention was to make map peek cheating much less effective. Jason complained that the addition of the blueprints system resulted in most traps (including combo locks and hidden-pet movements) being useless and the only difficult houses being those which were almost incomprehensible. Quote:
If you were clever enough to design a really hard puzzle (basically requiring that you be a practicing electrical engineer---even I had trouble doing it), then you could keep people out for a long time and prosper in the game. Everyone else, however, would design a house that would be broken right away through the reveal of its internals.
Read the full blog post here; it's pretty interesting.
Got to be some good stuff from that era (I've starting looking into electronic gadgets). I'm inclined to try my hand at computer generated houses! It would at least be nice to use a maze generator plus a few pitbull or whatnot so that I can always put up a simple house for the amusement of other players, even if it's broken in a few hours. I think that if everyone could easily put up simple houses without a big time commitment (including just repeatedly the same $2K house with small changes) we would have far more houses on the list. That is the reason I want to implement an 'Import' function in the client.
]]>Too bad about your repeated loss, Passive. So that was a bug in the Android client?
I say! Down with combo locks! Just no fun. I've been trying to put up a house with no combo locks or hidden pet movements, but I keep losing it to self tests. Turns out that if you don't pass a single self test, you don't even get a record of your house layout in the log file . I'm going to edit the client and add an import button, and in future design my houses in castledraft. This is just too annoying.
Was on my PC, i think it might of been lag my end. My computer is a bit screwed (currently hotter then my radiator...).
As for down with combo locks, i would agree if i wasn't protected by 1 But I think hidden pet movements are almost as boring. Trying to think of something creative, but every time i do i look at it in castle draft and see just how easy it would be to brute force. Currently trawling trough old forum posts see if i can get some inspiration.

]]>Hey, it's better than a combo lock any day of the week!
Everyone knows a real safe has a lock
