On the Subject of Simple Hexabuttons

A simple mechanic for a simple color.

Each of the non-center buttons’ leds will be pointing in a direction. Refer to the table below to see which button is assigned which direction:

TLTRMLMRBLBR
UPLEFTUPDOWNRIGHTUPRIGHT
RIGHTUPLEFTRIGHTDOWNDOWNLEFT
DOWNDOWNRIGHTLEFTUPRIGHTUP
LEFTRIGHTDOWNUPLEFTLEFTDOWN

Pressing the center button will play a text-to-speech message consisting of a number and a letter. If you are unable to hear, press the Status Light to enable/disable Deaf Mode. Start in the space on the table below where the number/letter intersects:

ABCDEF
1MLBLTRTLMRBR
2TLMLBRMRTRBL
3BLMRTLTRBRML
4MRTLBLBRMLTR
5BRTRMRMLBLTL
6TRBRMLBLTLMR

Follow the instructions below:

  • Press the button that correlates to the space that you are currently on.
  • From the space you’re currently on, move in the direction in the table that was assigned to the button that you pushed in the previous step.
  • If this next space has a button that’s already been pressed, keep moving in that direction, wrapping around when necessary until you reach a space that contains a button that hasn’t been pressed yet.

Repeat the instructions until all 6 buttons have been pushed to disarm the module.

Pressing the buttons in the wrong sequence will result in a strike after 6 button presses, resetting all input. Pressing the center button will also reset all input.
