The Lock Game

This app will have multiple levels

1. Each level will have one or more patterns and multiple locks to open
2. Each lock has rings (like the ones in combination number locks)
3. Each rotor has a symbol/number or a character (instead of a number in typical combination number locks)
Each rotor, we call it as a Ring

1. In the initial levels, there will be only one pattern and say 3 locks with 4 rings each.  Looking at the pattern, one has to arrange the unlock the locks in the given time frame. If the user unlcoks all the 3 locks in the given time, 3 stars are awarded. Lesser locks opened, lessser locks opened lesser stars. No locks opened, level failed.

As the levels go up, the number of rings in each lock will also increase. and the patterns also get complex.

Here is an example of the game

Pattern to unlock  : Z A Y B

Lock1         Lock2         Lock3
X                   V                 Q
C                   E                   J
W                  U                  P
_                    _                   _

In the example above, we will keep the 3 rings unchanged (For initial levels). The user has to rotate the 4th ring to choose from 4 different characters.

In advanced levels, the user will have more rings to rotate for each lock.

Also, the pattern can also be figures(pictures).
