Coding With Pigmented Ink For Transparent Lids
The Van Vliet Candy Company in Alphen aan den Rijn (Netherlands) needed to find a new printing system to code on to the transparent lids of its Smorredrop sweet jars.
The player is armed with the Linx 6900 and the aim of the game is to complete four short shifts, whilst coding items that pass by on the production line - chickens, beer, eggs and pill bottles.
During the game the player encounters a range of characters who are anything but the ideal workmate, described Linx.
In the game, boss 'Terry' keeps interfering, co-worker 'Kevin' is always playing the fool and secretary 'Stacy' just wants to flirt.
If the player is distracted by one of these 'colleagues', they suffer a temporary delay in production - for example a washdown, that makes it impossible to do any work.
A further complication is provided by products that are already coded - hit those and points are lost - and by the need to top up the ink level by shooting the ink bottles also passing by on the production line.
Simon Powell, Linx's marketing manager, said: "Unlike the characters in our game, the intuitive, intelligent operation and reliable, low-maintenance performance of the Linx 6900 make it the ideal workmate for coding requirements.
We wanted to highlight these capabilities in a way that is both informative and entertaining and we are sure the Lock 'n' Code game will have people hooked on trying to improve their coding skills." To play the Linx 'Lock ?n' Code' viral game and find out more about the Linx 6900, people are recommended to visit the Linx website and click on 'Linx 6900'.
