Enigma Machine
Enigma
This is the German Enigma machine. If you notice the yellow boxes on the right side of the screen, the top one is what you use to change the rotors. Now use the “< >” option for each dial. To further mix up the message you can grab the blue box below the upper A-Z and move it to another letter (steckers).
You can leave the yellow key box open and watch the key change as you are changing things. It will display the new key as you go.
Once you have the new key write it down or use the email (yellow box) option to send the key to a friend. You can use the wrench box to reset or use a random key.
Type the message in the input box (notice that the rotors spin as you type changing the key). The receiver needs to start with the original key and past the message into the input box and the output will be the original message.
The Enigma machine was a bit more complicated as it would break the message into 4 letter groups and there was a key to put the letters in order for length. The key was usually printed in the local German newspapers. A phone call was made to refer the receiver to what page to go to.
OK! What thew hell does this say?
