Super Hightech Paint 1

Text

The year is 2077 and your grandma used to use the super-hightech-paint program back in the good old days. Since it has been 55 years since anyone last used it, the website that sold the license keys is now offline. Your grandma, who has since been uploaded into a computer, asked if you could send her a copy of the program that just works out of the box.

The only version you found of the program is the last version ever made. The patch notes read:

...
Security fix: Since there seemed to be someone who figured out our secret license key algorithm, 
we upgraded our security and now use top of the line key verification techniques.
...

Well it seems like they really learned their lesson, luckily your grandma asked you to send her the whole program and not just a key, so maybe you can still figure something out.

You can connect with her via the ./cyber-grandma-linkup program. To let her test the new program out you can run ./cyber-grandma-linkup ./super-hightech-paint.
