:document: Project Requirements include::share/meta.adoc[] == Introduction In this document, the specifications are described prior to the investigation of the Puzzle Box project. These specifications are partly derived from the previously established requirements and are further supplemented and modified. The priority of specifications is indicated using the MoSCoW method, see <>. [[tab:moscow]] .MoSCoW Method cite:[Wik22] [cols="20h,~"] |=== | Priority | Description | [[must,M]]<> | Represents essential system requirements. Without these, the system will not function. | [[should,S]]<> | Denotes desirable system features.

The focus in this project year for the Puzzle Box is to thoroughly document the system and create a software framework for future groups. == Context This chapter describes how the user will interact with the system. This is done in the form of a user story. This user story covers hardware, software, and game specifications. From this narrative, many specifications can be derived for both functional and non-functional requirements (<> and <>). The game administrator picks up the puzzle box and places it on a flat surface. By using the key switch, the puzzle box is turned on, and the green indicator LED lights up. Through the mesh network established by the external puzzle box hub, the corresponding web panel can be accessed. The web panel provides instructions for configuring the puzzle box, including linking it to any bomb. The instructions issue a warning if any of the start conditions are not properly set. If a criterion is incorrectly configured, it is highlighted for resolution. Additionally, a warning is given if the battery capacity is insufficient for one game duration, causing the indicator LED on the puzzle box to turn red. In such cases, the battery should be charged using the USB-C cable. While the puzzle box is charging, the indicator LED is blue. Once there are no warnings and the puzzle box is adequately charged, the game can be started in the web panel. The puzzle box begins with the NeoTrellis game. In this game, players must turn off all LEDs on an 8x8 button LED matrix. When any button is pressed, the directly adjacent LEDs toggle. If a lit LED is toggled, it turns off; if an unlit LED is toggled, it turns on. Once all LEDs are turned off, the game is solved, and the software puzzle begins. On the software puzzle, there are 6 banana plug connectors on both the left and right sides. The ones on the left are labeled with various logical gates, while the ones on the right are labeled from A to F. Participants in the bomb game have 6 pieces of C-code written on paper, corresponding to the logical gates on the puzzle box. The bomb participants must provide a description of the C-code to the puzzle box participants, allowing them to correctly connect the appropriate logical gate to the corresponding letter. Once the correct combination of logical gates with the correct letter is made, the game is solved. Subsequently, the automation puzzle is initiated. Since there is no concept available for the automation puzzle yet, the hardware puzzle is started directly. The hardware puzzle is played in two distinct phases. In Phase 1, the objective is to solve a combinatorial circuit such that its output becomes '1'. There are 8 inputs for this circuit, each controlled by an on/off switch. Once the combinatorial circuit evaluates to '1', the LED at the output lights up, indicating the completion of the first phase. In Phase 2, another LED blinks, consistently repeating a pattern. This pattern represents a randomly generated Morse code, corresponding to a number from 0 to 9999. Participants use a Morse code table to decipher the correct number. Using four potentiometers, the participants can set a number on a 7-segment display. When this number matches the randomly generated one, the hardware puzzle is solved. Subsequently, the vault puzzle is initiated. In the vault puzzle, a 7-segment display shows a random combination of a letter and a digit. Participants have access to a list containing the correct button combination for the corresponding letter and digit. The vault puzzle consists of 5 levels, each displaying a unique button combination from the list. When participants correctly press the button on the keypad, the level advances, and a new value is shown. Pressing the wrong button restarts the game at level 1. Once all 5 levels are completed, the vault door unlocks, allowing access to the inside of the puzzle box. On the mainboard, there is a 7-segment display showing a code. This code must be relayed to the participants of the bomb game. Once the bomb team receives the code, the puzzle box is considered solved. [[sec:functional]] == Functional Requirements The functional requirements describe the things which are important to the client. This is mainly about the way the product is going to be used, what it is going to look like, and how the product reacts to interaction.
