What you are solving
The computer terminal in Level 7 establishes a cryptographic priority cipher mapping each of the seven orb colors to a fixed priority and a fixed value. The final code is the string concatenation of (quantity × value) per color, sorted by ascending priority.
The color matrix
From highest to lowest priority:
| Color | Priority | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Red | 1 | 1 |
| Green | 2 | 2 |
| Blue | 3 | 3 |
| Gray | 4 | 4 |
| Yellow | 5 | 5 |
| Purple | 6 | 6 |
| Orange | 7 | 7 |
The procedure
- Conduct a full environmental census of every colored orb cluster.
- Drop any color whose quantity is exactly zero — appending "01" or similar triggers a puzzle failure.
- For each remaining color, compute the substring (quantity)(value). Treat quantities as strings, not integers — concatenate, do not add.
- Concatenate the substrings in ascending priority order.
- The resulting multi-digit string is the computer-terminal code. The rightmost 4 characters are the keypad door code.
Edge cases
Double-digit quantities. If a quantity exceeds 9 (e.g., 10 Yellow orbs), the substring is "105" — not "15" with integer carry-over.
Zero omission. Appending "01" (zero Red orbs, then priority 1) results in a catastrophic puzzle failure. Always drop zero-quantity colors from the working set first.
Use the tool
The Level 7 & 11 Code Generator handles every edge case automatically. Toggle to Level 7, count the orbs, paste in the quantities, copy the output.
