XOR Cipher V1.1 What it does is it encrypts a string of text for you using technomancers pseudorandom output generator. Enjoy.

    the seed itself creates pretty bad keys, a randomizer would be more secure. However this it TPT, nothing in the game could truly encrypt something securly.

    @jeffluo the seed produces a random number, but it produces the same number each time, so it will be easily breakable as a cipher

    Is each FILT pixel 1 letter?

    Note: The random number generator operates off both the number of parts in the screen and the positions of PSCN in the CRAY grid. For more info, see id:1889368. By adding a simple parts randomizer (such as cloning PHOT) can increase the randomness a lot.

    the vernam cipher is like this, but it uses a one time pad, rather than pseudorandom seeds. +1

    It's supposed to output a whole bunch of random letters. It's an XOR cipher, which means that it generates a stream from the seed and XORs the input string with it. You can XOR the result and the stream again and you get your original string back. Since both encryption and decryption are just XORing strings, one button is enough for both.

    errrrm... didnt work for me.... just a hole bunch of random letters... nice work though...

    The max number of characters you can do is 256, and if you spam the keyboard it might glitch the characters you spammed. If anyone find a glitch please upload the FILT ROMS so i can see whats wrong.

    I'm not sure if it's because of something I did or an issue with how it works (I probably put too many characters in) but at the far left of where the text is output some of the text didn't erase properly and got squished to the side
