Darkwaar27: Pigment — A puzzle with dice based on rotation and color algebra

Lire : https://darkwoodcom.itch.io/darkwaar27 Un dé, une règle Pigment est un casse-tête déterministe se jouant sur un plateau de 5×5. Un dé occupe une case du plateau. Une commande le déplace vers une case voisine orthogonale et le fait pivoter de quatre-vingt-dix degrés afin qu’une nouvelle face soit tournée vers le bas. Cette face tournée vers le bas colore la case de destination. Rien d’autre…

Translated from French Read in French

A new puzzle game called Pigment has been created, where players move a die on a 5x5 grid, rotating it 90 degrees and coloring the destination square with the face of the die that lands facing down. The game has five levels, a limited number of moves per level, and "undo" and "restart" functions, with no random elements or opponents.

The die has six faces with different colors, and the game's mechanics involve permutations of these colors based on the die's movements. The colors mix and match according to specific rules, forming a small alphabet of colors. The game can be played online at https://darkwoodcom.itch.io/darkwaar27.

Trusted Timestamps (RFC 3161): How to Anchor a Hash Chain So No One Can Rewrite the Past

A hash chain proves a record was not modified after it was written. It does not prove when it was written, and it does nothing against someone who controls the server and can re-sign the whole chain.

  • Trusted Timestamps (RFC 3161) solve hash chain limitations
  • Time Stamp Authority (TSA) vouches for hash existence at specific time
  • Two anchoring strategies: per-record stamping vs periodic chain-head stamping
