A specification for simple treasure hunt game with clue stored in game.dat. There is an associated index file named index.dat which provides meta-data to the data inside the flat game.dat file.

There are 2 files

• Index file

  • Index file is divided into 10 bytes long
  • Structure of each index is like below - 1 2 3 |||________|
  • it has 3 parts
    • 1st part - 1 byte long - tell whether its hex code OR base 64 encoding data, 0 - hex, 1 - base 64
    • 2nd part - 1 byte long - tell whether index points to more than 4 records, 0 - no, 1 - yes
    • 3rd part - 8 bytes long - each 2 byte will tell u record index, (so max 4 records are pointed by single index) if 2nd byte is true (means set to 1), then last 2 bytes of this part will point to next index in index file

• Records file

  • Each record is 64 byte long
  • Either hex or base 64 encoded
  • Once you decode record, it will give you some clue which will point you to next index to read

Using your favorite programming language, you have to write a program which will take you thru all the clues and eventually to the final treasure....

To start playing game, you have to read index 444
