How does hacking actually work?

Maybe I'm just dumb or the tutorial is poop...

It's actually not that hard

Both you and the AI can power up 5 lines. When one of you powers up a line the light in the middle of the line will shine in the color of the player that controlls the line (green for you and red for AI) but if the AI and you controll the same line nothing will happen.

There is also a time limit for how long a line will stay powered up. That should be about 5 seconds unless there is a capacitor in which case it will stay powered up indefinitely.
The goal is to controll more lines than your opponent.

Hope I was able to help you

Right, no disrespect to the guy above me, but ignore all that and just do this:
Wait for the last 3 seconds, then power up as many lines as you can (start with split lines for the cost of one). AI will lose 95% of the time.

Dumbest minigame I've ever seen in my life.
