Just a little fun program, to bolster the forums' endless stock of computer locks. This however, has a twist.
I have created a system for using a PIN pad, to identify the user. The program is configurable for use as OS protection, as well as for use as a door lock.
Configuration is done by editing the first part of the program. By default, it will be used as an OS lock.
The program will immediately ask you to create a 4 digit Personal Identifying Number. The only one you cannot use is '0, 0, 0, 0', as that is the default code.
This is a program for use with mouse control ONLY.
Let me know what you think of the program, as well as suggestions below.

This is really cool, haha.
EDIT: Hope you don't mind, I made an alternate scanning animation:

Ooooh, I really like that. It looks really nice.
How would you make that scan vertically?

You would probably have to do some backwards logic. Instead of starting at 1 and going to width + height, go the other way around.
for i=width + height, 1, -1 do

Just figured it out. New animation function:
local function scanAnim(color)
local offsetx, offsety = 24, 5
local width, height = #scanner[1], #scanner
for i=width + height, 1, -1 do
for y=i, 1, -1 do
x = width - (i - y) + 1
if x >= 1
and y <= height then
term.setCursorPos(x + offsetx ,y + offsety)
term.setBackgroundColor(color)
term.setTextColor(colors.gray)
write(scanner[y]:sub(x,x))
end
end
sleep(0.05)
end
end

Wouldn't that be pretty useless since non-color computers don't have touch screens?

Why would I make one without color? Like 1Lann said, non color computers can't use this.

The problem with that is non advanced computers do not have mouse support. You would only be able to use your keypad. I don't feel like changing the whole program just to cater to them.

just have an optional runtime arg that runs it in ascii mode… but still only on an advanced computer…
EDIT: Btw I really like this! :D/> Should expand it to use the touchscreen :)/>

I just might do that. I have other projects on my head though, so I probably won't get to it for a while.

I'm gonna start saying no to these types of requests. I don't make these so that people can take credit for them. So no.

The PIN script is written to end when you get the right code, so the idea is to make a startup script that first loads the PIN pad, and then loads your OS.
shell.run("pinpad")
shell.run("yourOS")
Or you could just make your OS the startup script, and add a call to the pinpad as the first line within that.
