suggestion to a new task: message decoder
Suggestion for a New Task
i would like to suggest a new task that has the temporary name "Message Decoder"
the task is simple make an encrypted message and "hard code" it into the code and then code an encoder to display the encoded message...
the message can be anything - like each programming language can have a different message to display... or we could supply a generic message to encode - decode...
also there will be a choice for the contributors whether to show each secret message or leave it secret so the only way to read it is to run the code in that specific language...
here is an example in FreeBASIC
header|FreeBASIC
<lang FreeBASIC> SCREEN 19
Const string1 = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz" Const string2 = "VsciBjedgrzyHalvXZKtUPumGfIwJxqOCFRApnDhQWobLkESYMTN"
REDIM AS STRING message(0) DIM AS STRING r
SUB sAppend(arr() AS STRING , Item AS STRING) REDIM PRESERVE arr(LBOUND(arr) TO UBOUND(arr) + 1) AS STRING arr(UBOUND(arr)) = Item END SUB
FOR i AS INTEGER = 0 TO 27
READ r SAPPEND(message(), r)
NEXT
SUB encode_decode(arr() AS STRING)
Dim s As String Dim p As INTEGER Dim As String vector, key vector = string2 : key = string1 DIM currentChar AS INTEGER FOR i AS INTEGER = 0 TO UBOUND(arr) FOR x AS INTEGER = 1 TO LEN(arr(i)) currentChar = ASC(MID(arr(i), x, 1))
IF (currentChar >= 65 AND currentChar <= 90) OR (currentChar >= 97 AND currentChar <= 122) THEN p = INSTR(vector, MID(arr(i), x, 1)) MID(arr(i), x, 1) = MID(key, p, 1) END IF NEXT NEXT FOR i AS INTEGER = 0 TO UBOUND(arr) PRINT arr(i) NEXT
END SUB
encode_decode(message())

the message that is encrypted in this code is the following:
testing testing one two three four this is an encoded text message for testing the encoder decoder code one plus one is two ten multiply by ten is one hundred... i hope i don't have spelling mistakes... today was a beautiful day with warm weather and sunny sky it's five four-thy eight pm here and the sun just set whoever you are and what ever your doing i hope and wish you well may we all continue to learn and progress in our way in life may we all learn to be better coders and programmers in whatever programming language we choose to learn... may the FB community shell continue to evolve and stay relevant in the programming languages i still code in FB as well other languages and everyday i learn something new everyday i code something new or work on something in code coding is an excellent way to forget troubles and worries of every day's life i hope someday the corona or covid pandemic will be behind us all till then i hope we all stay healthy safe and protected... and stay in touch with our loved ones... and help each other what else can i say - i don't know... i've decided to keep a low profile in the programming communities i'm part of however i still am coding and hope to be able to contribute to FB community i've tried other BASIC languages as well i'm continuing to learn python but i feel home at FB and since i've learned so much about it it would be a shame to just stop and quit everything i've learned so far in FB so i'm continuing with FB...if there is something i've learned from the last year it's that i don't seek to find friends or to do the socializing thing i'm just looking to learn how to improve my coding skills and to keep myself occupied my dear reader i wish you well and farewell... maybe we shell meet someday some sunny day yours - ron77
