Encoding and decoding data is the process of changing it between different formats.
How to Make Encoder/Decoder Scripts
Variables and Lists Needed
(i): Short for index. Tracks the letter in a string.(encoded): Stores the encoded variable.(val): Stores the decoded value.(letter): Stores the decoded letter.(cipher::list): Stores encoding/decoding data.
Setup
Storing Cipher in a List
- Add 9 blank items to
(cipher::list) - Add the characters a-z and 0-9, in that order; each character gets its own item
Encoding Script
define clear encoded data set [encoded v] to () // this erases past encoded data define write (string) to encode //this code encodes text add writes it to encoded set [i v] to (1) repeat (length of (string)) set [encoded v] to (join (encoded) (item # of (letter (i) of (string)) in [cipher v]) // adds encoded version of letter of data change [i v] by (1) end set [encoded v] to (join (encoded) (00))
Decoding Scripts
define setup decoded of (string) set [encoded v] to (string) set [i v] to (1) define extract next val from encoded // this undecoded a single item from the encoded value set [val v] to () set [letter v] to (99) // just resets repeat until <[1] > (letter)> // runs until either you hit the 00 stopper or when encoded ends set [letter v] to (join (letter (i) of (encoded)) (letter ((i) + (1)) of (encoded))) //gets the encoded letter set [val v] to (join (val) (item (letter) of [cipher v])) // decodes the letter and writes it to val change [i v] by (2) // moves i to look for the next encoded letter
Example
Saving
clear encoded data:: custom write (x position) to encode:: custom write (y position) to encode:: custom write (level) to encode:: custom write (coins) to encode:: custom show variable [encoded v]
Loading
ask [enter save code] and wait setup decoded of (answer):: custom extract next val from encoded:: custom set x to (val) extract next val from encoded:: custom set y to (val) extract next val from encoded:: custom set [level v] to (val) extract next val from encoded:: custom set [coins v] to (val)
