What it does
Encodes and decodes ciphers in Vigenere and Ceaser using text inputted by the user. It automatically encodes or decodes the cipher based on whichever of the three works best. The website can decode while the script can both encode and decode.
How we built it
Building each cipher solver separately and integrating them all together into one GUI.
Challenges we ran into
Some of the methods were too slow so we had to find unique ways to speed them up, such as converting our list of possible words to a set.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
They are implementing both ciphers so that they can run in a timely manner for the user to get their desired output.
What we learned
How to keep focused over long periods of time.
What's next for Code that Cracks Codes
Implementing computer vision so the program can scan non-letter objects and encode/decode them correctly.
