The text above is a formatted message that YOU can descipher, in fact, it is one of the easiest text formats to learn.
Story.
It was made by me back in 2021 when i was given a diary, i was too paranoid and didn't want anyone to read my diary for obvious reasons.
That gave me an idea, i would make my own text format that only i would know and only i could read. the format has changed a lot since that day.
in the original version of the movement text format, a "hello world" would be written something like this "v/->->->->/->->->->v/->->->->v/->vv\
->->vvv/->->->->v/->->->->vv/->->->v/->->->\"
in the second version it was "l/-x4/-x4l/-x4l/--ll\--lx3/-x3ll/-x4l/-x3\"
and in the third and final version, hello world is "v/>x4/>x4v/>x4v/>>vv//>>vx3/>x3vv/>X4v/>x3"
How it works.
The proper way to read movement text format is by using an image of the alphabet (this image is called a base) and move through it using symbols
in this case my base looks like this:
ABCDEFG
HIJKLMN
OPQRSTU
VWXYZ
Now, the next step is to select a starting point. In older versions of movement text format the starting point was always top left,
but in the third version it changed so that you can start at any letter you want.
As you could see, this format uses instead of words, so why is it called "'movement text' format" you migt ask. well, all of these symbols
mark a movement in the base you are using (which is also why you must have a starting point so you know where you are moving from).
> marks a movement to the right
< marks a movement to the left
^ marks a movement up
v marks a movement down
/ separates letters
// separates words
And that's all you really need to know to translate a text into movement text format or a formatted text into normal text
now, as easy as it is to learn, it is very, very hard (if possible) to translate a formatted text back to normal
if you dont know the base it is using because for all you'd know the base could be made in morse code, using the same character multiple times
like this:
. _ /
_ _ .
/ / /
and that way the text would be double-encoded, meaning you would have to: figure out what the base is, then deformat the mesage and then
decode the morse deformatted message just so you can get the normal message. and if this is not hard enough, think about all the time
it would take to do this entire process. pretty cool right? |
