I think that m_leftAppCount is a persistent counter counting how many times in total you've opened/left the game. The line 580: m_leftAppCount++; is outside of the if statement showing the pause screen so the counter will be increased by 1 every time. 583-586 just saves the game state when the game is quit. What happens in the routine starting at 588 is the big question... oldLeftAppCount is set to the value of m_leftAppCount in line 590 Line 592-593 calls another routine which opens a URL (internally?), this routine must do something to the value of oldLeftAppCount because after that in line 595 there is a test if m_leftAppCount is less or equal than oldLeftAppCount. This test would be unnecessary if OpenURL had done nothing because we made the two value equal in line 590. So the big question is what causes oldLeftAppCount to get increased or not?
The code basically says: 1. Increment a counter every time the game is paused (EDIT: i.e. the Home button is pressed and the game is suspended). 2. When you access the Special URL (surely, the code behind the restricted keypad?), record the current value of the counter. 3. Wait one second. 4. Compare the two values, and if they haven't changed, do something (it's off screen). Implied, though, is that if they have changed, do something else. So how to make sure that happens? My best guess: 1. Access the special URL through the restricted keypad. 2. Immediately quit the app. 3. Wait a few seconds to be sure, then return to the app. There may be other requirements as hinted at by the other screenshots — e.g. playing as the Cat Enthusiast, using a specific language. Not sure how northern NSW ties into it, but I live in Brisbane (and I've met the devs at local gaming events) so if a road trip is needed, I'll help out if I can. Note, I haven't asked the devs directly for any help regarding this. I did politely annoy Hugh about a few game stopping bugs at the 48 Hour Game Making Challenge recently and he wouldn't give much away when asked.
The pictures were posted in PNG format, and after a bit of research I found that they don't support metadata like EXIF or whatever.
Thanks for the explanations of the code. I'm not a programmer and wouldn't have had a clue. I have a question. Is it normal to keep a count of how many times an app got paused? What would be the purpose of that?
Sydney USB Found Hi guys, I found the USB in Redfern in Sydney, Australia. The clue was "Pipe = -33.893108, 151.204286" I noticed that my picture has two symbols in it, not just one (bottom right-ish & upper left-ish) I also noticed that on the USB, it was titled "iiiii" (5 i's). Maybe this has some significance in terms of ordering for something but I've really got no idea. The picture's attached. Mark
Could the special url that it refers to just the pop up image when you enter the code over the restricted section?
As I recall, entering the right code on the keypad presented an image with a cypher that led to a URL. It didn't open a browser window. So maybe this code is referring to something that does indeed open a page in a browser. There are some buttons that open browser pages in the game, by the way. Such as the developer buttons that open their twitter pages. Good work on finding the USB in Sydney. Has anyone checked it to see if it confirms the solution that was already reached?
on iOS you can open other apps using openUrl. You can call canOpenUrl to see if that url exists. Apps have their own custom urls, so twitter:// for example, however since iOS 9 you have to declare which apps you want to query in your plist file. If you have the official twitter app installed, and you click on the developers names in the settings screen, it will open their profile on the twitter app. However if you don't have it installed, it will open their profile page in he browser. So this function is saying: open twitter app wait for a second (this app still running as twitter failed (not installed), hence comparing to the number of times app put in background) open twitter url in browser What this has to do with spending an hour finding a usb stick I don't know
Yep, it aligns to the left of the image found by birdfeet https://docs.google.com/document/d/1FfUGUnsYSXvWxyCEnBc0q4Q1Df2cwRadpF4pY14ujoA/edit?pli=1 some of the locations are doubles, in case others aren't found
New Image Here's the latest. Edit: Right now I can't make it into anything but ocean surface with topographical features and some land.
Is it just me or does it sort of look like a flipper. Like the kind you put on your feet fro swim. http://i01.i.aliimg.com/wsphoto/v0/1189090737/Swimming-flippers-submersible-short-font-b-fins-b-font-submersible-snorkeling-font-b-light-b-font.jpg
This is the type of image it reminds me of, but it's not this location. But, the brain makes things fit what it knows, so it definitely could be something else.
I'm seeing waterslides. As in, something like this: https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/attractions/blizzard-beach/toboggan-racers/
I think you're right, and this is the slide, from this resort. http://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g1219346-d2236367-Reviews-Slide_Splash_Water_Slide_Park-Lagoa_Faro_District_Algarve.html
So I suppose so far we have from the pictures, lines of code alluding to some special URL, pictures of Asia, a picture of cat enthusiast, a picture of a blue waterslide from Portugal, and a picture of east coast of Australia near Yamba with the mouse pointing at the Pacific ocean..... What does this mean
