In copying the basic design of the Engimas, this is a nice widget. I guess I wish it was a little more updated to include numbers, spaces, and maybe punctuation. Of course, the original Enigma messages were transmitted via radio with whatever version of the Morse Code the Germans used, so again, being formatted messages, punctuation and spaces were not required. I wonder if the character set can be expanded, or made configurable? Of course, this does begin to get away from the historical anchor of the original machines.
I do wish there was an option for the output to not have a space between each character.
P.S. I am using the Random Password Generator widget to generate rotor codes, although the Enigma rotor codes do required no duplication of letters, so you have to proof read the output. Ugh. Does anyone know of a program/utility/widget that would randomly scramble the alphabet in order to generate random rotor codes?

how to copy the encrypted text?
thanks, Thomas

I think your widget is very well done. I started playing around with and frankly I'm find it a delightful diversion. You have every reason to be proud of your effort.

Is it solvable?
And once more, one of the coolest widgs arround, congratz.

i realise that i have not really provided much info on how to use the thing. Basically you type (or paste) the text that you want to encode into the red box on the left.
You set the rotor positions by clicking the small arrows above and below the letters in the middle of the widget ( i don't think these are really very clear).
Click the >>> button and encoded text should then appear in the green box on the right.
Clicking the widget (*) icon lets you see and alter the rotor and reflector wirings, just type in the new strings and click save (if you don't provide the correct format you will probably break the widget, i haven't checked this and the script performs no checking). Also just noticed that on my version the animation checkbox doesn't display properly, although it still seems to work! Good luck.

Thanks!

intend to provide a save and (possibly) e-mail buttons in the next version.

This model incorporates a reflector in the mechanism (as did all enigma machines bar very early models). This means that, so long as all the settings are identical (same rotor settings and rotor wirings) encryption is the same as decryption. Test this by entering your text, encrypting it and then copying the ciphertext back into the entry box. If you then set the rotors back to the same position as they were when you started, clicking the "run" button should give you the plaintext back. Enjoy.
