So first some context
I am working on a Short Movie Project. The Movie is based on the Movie "Cube" from 1997, thus the setting is the same. A Cube made out of 9261 smaller Rooms that can all shift there Position on the Grid. So there are 21 Rooms along all positive axis.
All Rooms have one set of Coordinates, for example (6/4/12).
Now to my problem,
The Rooms move to points on the Grid, halt and then move on to the next point. So one Room starts at (6/4/12), goes to (12/5/14), then to (21/11/20) and then goes back to its starting point. The Rooms are suppose to have Numbers writen on the hatches that help the People trapped inside the system to get out. But of course just Writing down all the Coordinates the Room will move to is a bit easy.
What i want:
The best case would a bit like this: You have a set of 3, 3 Digit Numbers at each hatch of each Room. For Example 859 421 332. Using the right method one is able to Calculate not only where the Room starts from, but also where it will be. So idk i do the method and get (17/14/15) as the Coordinates for t4.
What i have:
Not much. Just a few ideas that dont work. One idea was to one gets the Original Coordinates by just doing the "checksum" on it. So 859 = 22 as for example the X-Axis. And then you always add 3 and get the Coordinates of the next stopping point.
The Problems with this system are that it is still kind of simple but also uses a Number, in this case 3, that you have to know in order to beat the system. if you dont know it, its GG. So how would you get it ?
Another plan was to use Vectors, something along those lines:
1 5 8
2 6 1
5 10 4
So you have (1/2/5) as the first Coordinate and 5/6/10 as the next....
Problem: Vectors can go in a negativ direction. So it could happen that you have a minus in the Matrix. Which would give away that you are looking at Vectors, meaning everyone that knows something about Math will see it and solve the Cube in a few sec.
Another idea was to use Permutations. The Idea: 675 = 18, = 18! = 6,402,373,705,728,000 = 54 = 9. And there is the new Coordinate. The Problem is that the Permutation of 9 is 362,880 = 27 = 9. So we got or self a loop. And that happens with every number. Another idea was to use x². So 18² = 324 = 9 and there is or Problem again because 9² = 81 = 9. Loop.
So that´s my situation right now. I know what kind of system i want but i dont know if it is possible to do. So i ask you guys for help.
Those are the requirements:
- The Numbers should be interessting
- It should work for every Room
- It should give at least 6 sets of Coordinates
- It shouldnt require a Coumputer to do
again. Idk if it is even possible to do. But i mean if someone out there can do it, you are my hero !
Thanks for your help !
