Game Update - February

Hello!


It's been a while since the last update, so we want to show you what we've managed to do over the next month. We've made a few minor changes to the player interface, but thanks to that the interface is more user-friendly. We've also been creating a system for saving the game for a long time. It was quite a difficult task due to the various mechanics in the game.

[h2]Tablet[/h2]

The first thing that might catch your eye is the tablet. We've added it and are introducing the first applications there. The tablet itself will play a significant role in the game and will be a great convenience for the player.



[h2]Fasko - OneConnect (VPN)[/h2]

Until now, to connect to VPN, all you had to do was have Internet access and click the Connect button. Thanks to the tablet, we could add a special application for 2-step verification. Thanks to this, we made this process more realistic. To start VPN, we have to enter the numbers that are displayed on the monitor into the application on the tablet.



[h2]Settings[/h2]

We've added a few new settings, a few aesthetic ones, like the screen saver, a few of which change how the computer works. We've also changed the wallpapers available on the computer and fixed a few bugs related to them.



[h2]Changes in the terminal[/h2]

We have supplemented the ipconfig command and added the ability to ping other devices with the -t or -T parameter



[h2]File and folder properties[/h2]

From now on, you can check the properties of a given file or folder. They have several important parameters, such as file size, which is calculated based on the content. The more we write in the file, the longer it will take to download from the network, send on the network, etc.



[h2]Flash drives and disks[/h2]

We have made every effort to ensure that everything works properly. From now on, each time you connect a new device to the computer, it will be given an appropriate icon and alphabetical letter. From now on, we can boot the flash drive for system installation.



[h2]Hamster Application[/h2]

The application will be used to boot pendrives and disks. In the application we can choose which pendrive we want to boot, choose the appropriate iso file with the system and a few smaller functions.



[h2]Web - Jobbly [/h2]

We have also completed the ability to apply for every job you can find on the site Jobbly in the game. There are also more offers related to IT and the further course of the game. Each job offer returns two emails. The first email is automatic and informs about the acceptance of the CV by the company. The second email is an email regarding the status.



[h2]Router[/h2]

We have added several options in the Router configuration. As we mentioned before. At a general level, the configuration of both the router and the switch will be graphical. If the player wants to follow the appropriate career path, they will configure these devices via the console. Currently, we have added the option of assigning network addressing to a specific port. Thanks to this procedure, if the player wants to change the switch addressing, they must do it via the router. Additionally, you can enable and disable a specific port on the router, thanks to which we will block a certain part of the network.



[h2]Switch[/h2]

You can access each switch by entering the IP address in the browser. We can change several parameters, check the list of currently connected devices via DHCP, edit which IP address to which DHCP should extend. Additionally, we can check what is connected to each port on the switch. If we change the DHCP range, devices with DHCP enabled will automatically receive a new address if their current address is outside the pool.



[h2]BIOS[/h2]

We've fixed a few logic errors related to the BIOS. We have also added a few blue screens related to e.g. damaged VRAM. We have added an option to restore settings to factory settings and an option to exit BIOS without saving. and changes.



[h2]RCP - work registration reader[/h2]

We have added a few smaller functionalities, such as: settings, restarting the device, turning off the device if it is only in the RACK cabinet. For now, we do not want to reveal full information about this device.

[h2]Cats[/h2]

Yes, exactly. We have added cats to the game. One of the users of a certain platform wrote that the game must have cats! So, we listened to one of you and added a few cats. For this purpose, we also created a place for them.



We've added a few new features, but we don't want to reveal them at this time! See you soon!

P.S. Will someone fix our network? :P
