Lokpik

Lockpicking game mechanic based on real life without using physics. Currently only supports single pin picking with pin tumbler locks.

Controls

• A/D: Select the Pin to manipulate.
• Mouse Up/Down or W/S: Lift the current Pin using the lockpick tool.
• Space: Hold tension (and release)

Controls are a work-in-progress. I'm playing around with it to get the feel for the tensioning and the pin manipulation just right. Currently, lifting pins with the mouse feels good, but I haven't perfected holding the tension.

Features

• Simple 2D visual representation of a plug, key & driver pins, and applied tension/torque (no visual for the lockpick yet)
• Gradually applied tension/torque affects plug rotation
• TumblerLockConfig class with options:
  • Pin/chamber count
  • Driver and Key Pin lengths
  • Shear line height (constrained above every key pin)
  • Shear line tolerance to set pins
  • Binding angles (effectively the inverse of pin width; large values will exaggerate the plug rotation after picking a pin)
• Support for comb pick vulnerability (all pin stacks raised above the shear line)

Plans

• Counter-rotation
• Audio feedback
• Random lock generation
