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: http://pastebin.com/GNZT79Nt

The math took a bit of figuring out

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

[Kingdaro]

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

[Cranium]

Eh, tried it. Just goes right to left. Oh well...

[Kingdaro]

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

Updated OP with screenshot and corrected error with door locks opening too early.

I actually never thought of this style of lock. Pretty cool.

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

[Fizzgigg]

That looks epic!
I will be looking at this

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

for people that like you pin pad style but just want a simple door/OS lock.

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! Should expand it to use the touchscreen
