Compilation Instructions

To compile the complete game with all levels:

# Compile the complete game
gcc final.c -o treasurehunt

For development or testing individual levels (optional):

# Compile individual levels
gcc ITProject.c -o level1        # Only Level 1 (Palindrome)
gcc level2mainV2.c -o level2    # Only Level 2 (Word Puzzles)
gcc encryption_level.c -o level3 # Only Level 3 (Encryption)

Running the Game

To play the complete game with all levels:

./treasurehunt

How to Play

1. Level 1 - Password Challenge

   • Enter your Institute Roll Number
   • You need to enter a 7-character palindrome password
   • A palindrome reads the same forwards and backwards (e.g., "racecar")
   • You get 3 attempts to crack the password

2. Level 2 - Word Puzzles

   • Round 1: Solve the number-word relationship puzzle
   • Round 2: Decrypt the cryptic message
   • Each round gives you 3 attempts
   • Watch out for the hangman - it progresses with each wrong answer!

3. Additional Levels

   • More challenges await as you progress
   • Each level has unique puzzles and encryption challenges
   • Pay attention to the clues provided

Tips

• Read all instructions carefully before attempting each level
• Look for patterns in the puzzles
• Make use of all available hints
• Keep track of your remaining attempts
