I feel like figuring out how to crack my encrypted text would be a real pain in the butt (of course it's easy if you look at the code and reverse the sequence):
1. it uses the text itself to create the values by which the letters change.
2. it uses three different values: the ascii value of the character in front of the current letter (CODED), the acsii value of the character after the current letter (UNCODED), and the position of the current letter within the string. It might be even more difficult to break if instead of using k% = k% + x%, it had some more obscure formula, like x% * sin(x%) or something like that.
Anyway, I'm prolly totally wrong, and there's most likely a really obvious way to decrypt it without knowing the pattern beforehand, but I don't see it off the top of my head.
I'd like to hear if anyone figures it out.
*peace*
Meg.
