Interactive: Virtual Enigma

plegner opened this issue · 1 comments

A virtual enigma machine: students can click keys on a keyboard, at which point the corresponding cipher letter lights up, and the rotors move by one. Students can also switch out different rotors, or connect differently plugs on the plugboard.

Similar to this, but with nicer graphics?

After creating a ciphertext, students should be able to send it to a friend (together with initial setup instructions), who should then be able to decipher it using the same component.
