pedantic, but isn't that ROT25?

I helped beta test blackbox, was really fun and the developer was fun to work with for the few pieces of feedback I had.

Hah yep. And once again I learn that I don't know the alphabet as well as you'd think!

Thank _you_ for the help Cogito! FYI: New beta is going out soon ;)

Oh, so you're the one responsible for me tossing my phone about and abusing it in ways it was not intended to be used?

I'm on Stage 3 of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kübler-Ross_model right now, pleading with the stupid lights to respond.

Seriously, this game is fantastic and frustrating. Good job.

Since you're here...

Any timeline on an android port?

I actually ran it through three rounds of ROT9. (http://www.rot13.com)

Ahh of course, I was being silly.

3x9 === 1 mod 26, so I think you are right in saying it was encoded with ROT01.

The decoding is ROT25 == -ROT01, which is what I was thinking about. It's fun to be pedantic but it's better when you're right...
