Using pipes (and the different variations) fits well the hacking theme, it's true! I've spent some time playing it on http://www.bbc.co.uk/cbbc/adventurerock/download/game/ and it's very casual, and it gives a nice feeling to play it. The only thing I'm not sure of is how to make it multiplayer - do you know any variation of this with two players, or even turn-based? Even if it does not exist, it would still be definitely worth putting it in the list of minigames we could implement, if we need to add variety to minigames. Added there: http://community.hackit.cx/wiki/Inspiration#Hacking_minigames (btw, the Gamespot video for the second reference in Bioshock didn't load, so I couldn't see that one - I'm assuming it's also a variation of the pipes games, but if not let me know!).
