Subject: Tweaking the JSW engine: One for the experts

 

Is it possible to tweak the JSW engine in order to set some rooms to a
given time interval? I mean... let's use the original JSW as an example...

Take rooms 'Master Bedroom' 'The nightmare room' and 'Top Landing'.

Now, when the time is divisible by 5 (it ends with 0 or 5), you get to
'Master Bedroom' if you go to the left of 'Top Landing'.

Now, if the time is not divisible by five, then when you exit to the
left of 'Top Landing' you enter 'The nightmare room'.

The reserve could be true (that is, if you exit The Nightmare Room to
the right and the time is wrong you get to 'Top Landing' and if you
exit at the right time you get to 'First Landing / Main Stairway') or
it could be false...

I think this could be exploited in quite interesting ways. So you,
technical guys... is it possible to do what I'm thinking about?
