So I was trying to fall asleep last night, and I found myself fantasizing about encryption. This was not the first time this has happened so I thought I would do something about it today.
Some of you may be thinking, "Hey! This is not the encryption forum!" But my focus here is not encryption but programming. So I whipped up a module in Python to encode some stuff. "Hey! This is not the Python forum!" Don't get excited, slappy. My focus here is not Python either. It is the method I used- I didn't use any encoding conventions because I don't know any. I just came up with this very simple 20 line script(and six lines are just print statements) that makes secret a bit of text.
After a few posts, I will post my source code and ask to see if you can write coded solutions(in any language) to decrypt the text below, BUT I want to see if anyone is up to the challenge and can figure it out first before I let the cat out of the bag.
Can you read the text in the code box or figure out my method?
Hints: This text is the music style section on a wikipedia.org article of my favorite band. I did only one operation on each of the letters. It is letter for letter and I did not encode the spaces.
