So, with the donations received, I have pieced to gether this unique device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This ESP32-based device creates an immersive “hacking terminal” prop for airsoft games, combining hardware interaction with a WiFi-based gaming interface. Players must maintain mobile device connections while completing timed objectives under tactical pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Core Functionality<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Hardware Components<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • OLED Display (128×64)<\/strong>: Shows real-time game status, connected players, progress, and remaining time<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • WiFi Hotspot<\/strong>: Creates “HACK_SERVER” network for player connections<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Physical Security System<\/strong>: Three switch inputs that trigger defence protocols when being hacked.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Audio\/Visual Feedback<\/strong>: Buzzer and dual LED indicators (red\/green) for server state<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Web Interface<\/strong>: Serves terminal-style hacking simulation to connected devices<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Downloadable File:<\/strong> Hackers will actually download a file and then shutdown the node remotely<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Game Mechanics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Mission System<\/strong>
    The user selects from five hacking tasks:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • Download Files<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Deactivate Satellite<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Upload Virus<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Steal Passwords<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Unlock Mainframe<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Progressive Challenge<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      • Base hack time: 3 – 5 minutes (depends on connection strength)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Additional penalty per disconnection or wrong defence protocol<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Progress halts and slowly declines when no players are connected<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Real-time progress tracking with visual feedback on both the server node and any wifi-connected device<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        Implementation in Airsoft Games<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        Game Scenarios<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

        Intelligence Gathering<\/strong>
        Deploy as an enemy server requiring infiltration. Attacking teams must establish and maintain connection while defenders can trigger physical security to increase difficulty while defence team try to repel enemy away from the node.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Sabotage Operations<\/strong>
        Position in defended locations requiring teams to penetrate, connect, and hold position until completion. The declining progress mechanic prevents hit-and-run tactics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Multi-Objective Missions<\/strong>
        Use multiple terminals across large playing areas for complex coordinated operations requiring sustained team communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Technical Features<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

        Connection Management<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        • Monitors actual device connections vs simple button presses<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Detects client disconnections and adjusts game state accordingly<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Implements timeout protection to prevent exploitation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

          Display Management<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n
          • Automatic OLED retention clearing for longevity<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Real-time status updates every 2 seconds<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Clear progress visualization with percentage and time remaining<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

            Web Interface<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

              \n
            • Generates realistic terminal commands using cybersecurity tools<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Auto-refreshing progress display<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Hollywood-style hacker aesthetic with scrolling commands<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Downloadable file<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Server shutdown on completion<\/li>\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
