# Multi-Cipher Text Encoder
This Python script allows you to encode and decode text using a variety of ciphers. You can apply multiple ciphers sequentially to a given text. The script also generates a template describing the applied ciphers and the final encoded text, which can be useful for puzzles or web novel content.
## Features
* Supports multiple cipher types.
* Allows chaining of ciphers.
* Prompts for parameters for ciphers that require them (e.g., Vigenère key, Caesar shift).
* Generates a formatted output template with cipher descriptions and the encoded text.
* Flexible command-line interface for specifying text, ciphers, and number of operations.
## Requirements
* Python 3.x
## How to Run
The script is run from the command line using `python3 main.py`.
### Command-Line Arguments
* `-t TEXT, --text TEXT`:
* The input text string you want to encode.
* If not provided, defaults to: `"Hello, World! 123 This is a test."`
* `-c CIPHER1 [CIPHER2 ...], --ciphers CIPHER1 [CIPHER2 ...]`:
* A space-separated list of cipher keys to apply in the specified order.
* **Rule**: All word-based ciphers must appear before any letter-based ciphers in the sequence.
* This argument is mutually exclusive with `--random`. You must use either `--ciphers` or `--random`.
* `-r, --random`:
* Randomly selects ciphers to apply.
* If `--num-ciphers` is not specified, defaults to selecting 3 ciphers.
* The random selection will pick at most one word-based cipher and place it first if chosen.
* This argument is mutually exclusive with `--ciphers`.
* `-n NUM_CIPHERS, --num-ciphers NUM_CIPHERS`:
* An integer specifying the number of ciphers to apply.
* **With `--random`**: Determines how many random ciphers are selected.
* **With `--ciphers`**: Acts as a limiter. If you provide more ciphers in the `-c` list than `NUM_CIPHERS`, only the first `NUM_CIPHERS` from your list will be used. If `NUM_CIPHERS` is greater than the number of ciphers you listed, all listed ciphers will be used.
* If not provided when using `--ciphers`, all specified ciphers are used.
* If not provided when using `--random`, it defaults to 3.
* `-h, --help`:
* Shows the help message detailing all arguments and available ciphers.
### Available Ciphers
You can get an up-to-date list of available cipher keys by running `python3 main.py --help`. The script will list all choices for the `--ciphers` argument.
Currently, the available ciphers are:
* **Word-Based Ciphers** (Manipulate the order or content of whole words):
* `reverse_word_order`: Splits the string by white space, then joins the tokens in reverse order.
* `word_replacement`: Replaces words with peaceful alternatives based on word length (prompts for dictionary if not using defaults).
* **Letter-Based Ciphers** (Manipulate individual characters or blocks of characters):
* `caesar`: Shifts letters by a specified number of positions (prompts for shift value, e.g., 3, -5).
* `atbash`: A simple substitution cipher where letters are mapped to their reverse in the alphabet (A->Z, B->Y, etc.).
* `vigenere`: Encrypts using a keyword (prompts for the key).
* `block_reverse`: Pads text with '#' to make its length a multiple of 3, splits into 3-char blocks, reverses each block, and concatenates.
* `reverse_capitalize`: Reverses the entire string and capitalizes the first letter.
* `grid_coordinate`: Maps letters to (row,col) coordinates in a user-defined grid (prompts for grid dimensions `a` and `b`).
* `reverse_chars_in_words`: Splits by white space, then reverses the characters within each token.
* `hex_encode`: Converts every character to its two-digit hexadecimal representation (e.g., 'A B' becomes '412042').
*(Note: The `ascii_replace` cipher is commented out in the source code but can be re-enabled if needed.)*
### Cipher Parameters
Some ciphers require additional parameters. If you select such a cipher, the script will prompt you to enter the necessary information:
* **Caesar Cipher (`caesar`)**: Prompts for the shift value (integer between -25 and 25).
* Example prompt: `Enter the Caesar cipher shift value (integer between -25 and 25). Press Enter for default (15):`
* **Vigenère Cipher (`vigenere`)**: Prompts for the Vigenère key.
* Example prompt: `Enter the Vigenère cipher key (or press Enter to use default: 'BUTTERFLY'):`
* **Grid Coordinate Cipher (`grid_coordinate`)**: Prompts for grid dimensions `a` (rows) and `b` (columns).
* Example prompt: `Enter grid dimensions 'a' and 'b' (e.g., '5 6'). Press Enter for default (5 6):`
* **Word Replacement Cipher (`word_replacement`)**: This cipher uses a predefined list of peaceful words. No user input is required for parameters during runtime unless customized to do so.
### Examples
1. **Apply a specific sequence of ciphers:**
```bash
python3 main.py -t "My secret message" -c word_replacement vigenere caesar
```
This will:
1. Apply `word_replacement`.
2. Then apply `vigenere` (will prompt for key).
3. Then apply `caesar` (will prompt for shift).
2. **Apply random ciphers (default 3):**
```bash
python3 main.py --text "Encode this randomly" --random
```
3. **Apply 5 random ciphers:**
```bash
python3 main.py -t "Another random test" -r -n 5
```
4. **Specify ciphers but limit to 2:**
```bash
python3 main.py -t "Limit these" -c hex_encode atbash caesar -n 2
```
This will only apply `hex_encode` and then `atbash`.
5. **Using a word-based cipher followed by letter-based ciphers:**
```bash
python3 main.py -t "Word first" -c reverse_word_order caesar atbash
```
6. **Using multiple word-based ciphers, then letter-based:**
```bash
python3 main.py -t "Many words then letters" -c reverse_word_order word_replacement vigenere
```
### Output
The script will output:
1. The selected ciphers and their types (Word-based/Letter-based).
2. The original text.
3. Step-by-step application of each cipher, showing its description and the result after application.
4. The final encoded text.
5. A "Cipher Template Output" formatted for use in a web novel or similar context. This template includes:
* The final encoded text.
* Step-by-step instructions (in decoding order) on how to restore the original plan, using the descriptions of the applied ciphers.
## Understanding the Output Template
The `CIPHER_TEMPLATE` section in the output is designed to be a set of instructions for decoding the message. The steps are listed in the reverse order of how they were applied during encoding.
Example: If you encoded with `CipherA` -> `CipherB` -> `CipherC`.
The template instructions will be:
1. Instruction to decode `CipherC`.
2. Instruction to decode `CipherB`.
3. Instruction to decode `CipherA`.
This helps a reader (or a character in a story) understand how to decrypt the message.
