@ Some benefits of using the optimized: - Chaocipher and Hill are made a lot easier; the former gives an interactive similar to an Enigma machine, while Hill outright gives you your matrix (if you’re using the REALLY optimized manual, the inverse matrix is calculated for you) - Atbash Logic accounts the Atbash component for you - Playfair and Monoalphabetic have the reversed keywords/remaining letters for you
@ Side note: It’s possible to use a Caesar decryptor to do Bitshift; all you need to do is to do the following: 1. Take the 45 degree rotations of the dials from north as a number from 0-7 (e.g. SE is 3) 2. If a cipher dial is lit, subtract that digit from 7 3. Make a single string of digits and convert it from octal to binary 4. Prepend a zero and append a one 5. Write the alphabet underneath 6. Rearrange the alphabet so the zeros and ones are on separate sides 7. Plug the alphabets into the decryptor (hint: you need two) 8. ~Uninstall mod~ Profit!
Are you going to continue using the original manual for Ultimate Cycle?
@BCMGF1137YT after today's performance, probably not. Idk how much optimised will help, but by the rules, I have to do this one way or another 😅
