Originally developed as a simple method to allow the opening of a gate via code, this side-project extended into a huge proof of concept gameplay feature. A code is randomly generated at the beginning of the level and then projected onto screens elsewhere in the level to allow the player to find the code. Once this is done, they can enter the code into the correct panels and the gate will open. A video demonstrating this is shown below in a test environment to display the feature.




The full sized video can be found here at YouTube, along with more information. To show how this system was achieved, below is an image of the huge flowgraph that powers this feature (not for dial-up users).
