This is a support tool for winning SpaceRangers:Elus.

Elus is a little game-inside-game quest that pops up in SpaceRangers game. It is notoriosly difficult to crack manually, but easy with Ruby script. Instead of writing quik-and-dirty permutations script that would be sufficient, I tried to develop this tool in a “proper” BDD way while reading ‘The RSpec Book’. So, in effect Elus is a replacement for Codebreaker example which I found boring. ;)

By all means, use it if you’re stuck with Elus quest and add new functionality to it (like GUI and stuff) if you need it. I’m done with the quest and Rspec book, so no progress on this tool is to be expected.

You need Ruby 1.9.x installed, other Rubies won’t do.

$ gem install elus
$ elus 1

… Each run of the script solves one game round. Follow the prompts. When prompted to enter game pieces, use first letters of description, replacing G for Blue (because!). So, if you get a free piece “Big Blue Lozenge”, enter BGL. For “Small Yellow Circle”, enter SYC and so on.

$ elus 2
$ elus 3
