Include an advanced puzzle mode, CTF-style

[alicerunsonfedora]

We do have a "basic" puzzle mechanic system for the regular game. However, some players may want an extra challenge or prefer challenges with other things.

Proposal

• We provide an option for a "Basic" or "Advanced" mode as part of the Setup Assistant
  • The "Basic" mode enables the traditional puzzles currently in DDTAR.
  • The "Advanced" mode disables the traditional puzzles and introduces new puzzles as describe below.
• The new puzzles will take place inside of an Act 3-like environment in which the players plays a game of "fetch" like in BATIM Chapter 3.
  • The player must fetch CTF flags and enter them in as input to continue.
  • Puzzles may include the following:
    • Looking through the game's Applet's source code, when available
    • Base64 decryption
    • Examples as seen in Google's CTF challenges

Disadvantages

• We'll have to code two sets of puzzles.
• This may or may not assume that the console part of AliceOS is completely functional.
• Challenges will need to be well-designed and may include necessary components for web access (eg. SQL injection, JavaScript inspection, etc.).
• These puzzles need to be really difficult.
• The Just Alice CG must be fully colored in.

Experiments for this are underway.

Reopening until all CTF flags have been added.
