OBJECTIVE
The object of Binary Blitz is to convert decimal numbers into binary numbers quicker than the computer can. Of course a computer could do that millions of times quicker than humans, but to make the game fair, I gave the computer a handicap; he starts with a two-second delay between each of his digit guesses. With each passing round his handicap is decreased by 5%. Therefore, after many rounds, he would be unbeatable. Your score is determined by how many rounds you were able to beat the computer before he squashed you like a bug.
GAMEPLAY
Gameplay is simple. You are blue and the computer is red. Click on start when you are ready to begin. A random number from 1 to 255 will be displayed at the right. You need to toggle the zeros and ones until they are the binary equivalent of the random decimal number that is the goal. For those of you that are gifted (mentally), I've thrown in some goodies for you.
| ROUND | DIFFICULTY |
| 21 | Vanishing Goal You only have a quick moment to see the goal number. |
41 |
No Bit Values The value labels for each byte (128, 64, 32, etc) dissapear. Now you have to remember what each bit is worth |
| 61 | No Red Sum You no longer see the sum of the computer's guesses. |
| 81 | No Unclicking You can no longer unclick 1's back to 0's |
101 |
No Blue Sum You no longer see the sum of the your guesses. |
Since these rounds add a huge
amount of challenge to the game, it was only fair to counter it a bit. At levels 21, 41,
61, and 81 the computer reverts back to the 2 second delay like in round 1.
REGISTRATION
Binary Blitz is freeware. That will only change if I'm offered big bucks and I happen to be low on groceries that week. If you would like to promote the development of Binary Blitz, send your donation in U.S. funds to:
