in this challenge we have a game that looks like this

we can control the dice using W-S-A-D keys and the black square is randomly moves. and when the dice reach the black square a prompt ask for name and show the score which is the number of moves we make.

by looking into the source code we can see a long JavaScript code that is running the game. in that code we have a function called win

    function win(history) {
    const code = encode(history) + ";" + prompt("Name?");

    const saveURL = location.origin + "?code=" + code;
    displaywrapper.classList.remove("hidden");

    const score = history.length;

    display.children[1].innerHTML = "Your score was: <b>" + score + "</b>";
    display.children[2].href =
        "https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text=" +
        encodeURIComponent(
            "Can you beat my score of " + score + " in Dice Dice Goose?",
        ) +
        "&url=" +
        encodeURIComponent(saveURL);

    if (score === 9) log("flag: dice{pr0_duck_gam3r_" + encode(history) + "}");
}

the function take a parameter called history which is an array of the position of the dice and the black square each time we move the dice. so the length of history is the score.

win function test if score === 9 and if its true print the flag + the the encoded history. and it’s only triggers when the dice and the black square has the same y and x.

    if (player[0] === goose[0] && player[1] === goose[1]) {
      win(history);
      won = true;
      return;
    }

so what we need to do is win the game with the score 9.

LET’S MAKE OUR HISTORY LMAO

first we set history to an array that solve the game and has a length of 9. the only solution is this array.

history = [[[0,1],[9,9]] ,[[1,1],[9,8]] ,[[2,1],[9,7]] ,[[3,1],[9,6]] ,[[4,1],[9,5]] ,[[5,1],[9,4]] ,[[6,1],[9,3]] ,[[7,1],[9,2]] ,[[8,1],[9,1]]]

we can now use the browser console to run win function with the new history array.

and we got the flag
