Ahhh, thanks for clearing that up TDMZ!

Are the lightcycle/book code things being collected anywhere? Seems like they could be useful when the last two Network Terminals have been activated, no?

The pages that folks are using to decode the book are from TRON arcade machine manuals (I have one for my machine). For those wondering about the 12 stages of the TRON game, here they are.

Level 1
RPG the initials stand for "Report Program Generator", but referred to only as RPG.

Level 2
COBOL is one of the oldest programming languages. Its name is an acronym for "Common Business-Oriented Language".

Level 3
BASIC is an acronym for "Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code". The original BASIC was designed in 1964 Dartmouth College in New Hampshire.

Level 4
FORTRAN derived from IBM Mathematical Formula Translating System, is a general-purpose, procedural, imperative programming language that is especially suited to numeric computation and scientific computing.

Level 5
SNOBOL Acronym for "String Oriented Symbolic Language" is a generic name for the computer programming languages developed between 1962 and 1967 at AT&T Bell Laboratories.

Level 6
PL/I "Programming Language One",( pronounced "pee-el-one") is a computer programming language designed for scientific, engineering, business and systems programming applications. It was introduced in the 1960s, and is actively used as of 2010.

Level 7
Pascal is an influential imperative and procedural programming language, designed in 1968/9 as a small and efficient language intended to encourage good programming practices using structured programming and data structuring.

Level 8
ALGOL short for Algorithmic Language. Is a family of imperative computer programming languages originally developed in the mid 1950s which greatly influenced many other languages and became the de facto way algorithms were described in textbooks and academic works for almost the next 30 years.

Level 9
Assembly is a low-level programming language for computers, and other integrated circuits. It implements a symbolic representation of the binary machine codes and other constants needed to program a given CPU architecture.

Level 10
OS "operating system" is software, consisting of programs and data, that runs on computers and manages the computer hardware and provides common services for efficient execution of various application software.

Level 11
JCL Acronym for "Job Control Language" is a scripting language used on IBM mainframe operating systems to instruct the system on how to run a batch job or start a subsystem. The term "Job Control Language" can also be used generically to refer to all languages which perform these functions.

Level 12
User If your not sure, see the movie!

Have to get back to (real) work. Good luck everyone.

Reposting SkekTek's post from another thread so no one misses it, good to see the details to understand how the puzzle was solved:


Here are some pictures of the book that came with the drop.

WOOP WOOP ! We're getting close to the finale, programs, 12 nodes down & 4 to go!!!!

[on3badmammajama]

is anyone logging those numbers down??

if not i suggest we start a thread or post them in the current : http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=31014

New York's phone number was 646 671 7408. We didn't take the tracking number down sadly.

Portland only gets one photo on their flyer?

God, and to think I used to code in almost all those languages.

[ADarkly]

I had to learn Pascal in school. Everyone has always told me that was a completely ridiculous programming language to learn. Will it actually come in handy?! (No. No it won't. But at least I can associate it with Tron now.)
