I hacked together a random host generator based upon the rules found in the matrix source books.
I used python 2.5
An sample of the program output:
Welcome
Please select the Security code
0:blue
1:green
2:orange
3:red
2
Please enter the difficulty level
0:easy
1:average
2:hard
2
Security Code: orange
Security Value: 9
Subsystem Ratings:
access: 16
control: 13
index: 17
files: 16
slave: 18
Security Sheaf:
4 killer-06
9 tar baby-08
12 tar pit-10
16 passive Alert, trace-12with a sparky-10 trap
19 ripper(evasion)-10
23 scout-08
27 active alert, sparky-08
30 shutdown
A couple of things are still to be done, namely:
Add save function
Implement IC options
Add the option to select a specific security value instead of a difficulty level
Add graphic interface
Comment the code
The first two items are definitely on my list, the rest probably not gonna happen.
