On the Subject of Shapen't Ciphers
I eat geometry for breakfast.
Note: This manual is intended for experts familiar with the original manual for Shape Cipher.
Step 1: Circle Cipher
Get KW1 in page 1, add the alphabet after it, and then remove duplicates (keeping first occurrences).
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
Get the 6 pi digit positions in pages 2 and 3, then use the corresponding pi digit below to shift each letter of the encrypted word that many positions to the left in the string you've just created.
| 00 | 01 | 02 | 03 | 04 | 05 | 06 | 07 | 08 | 09 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 | 16 | 17 | 18 | 19 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 00 | 3 | 1 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 9 | 2 | 6 | 5 | 3 | 5 | 8 | 9 | 7 | 9 | 3 | 2 | 3 | 8 | 4 |
| 20 | 6 | 2 | 6 | 4 | 3 | 3 | 8 | 3 | 2 | 7 | 9 | 5 | 0 | 2 | 8 | 8 | 4 | 1 | 9 | 7 |
| 40 | 1 | 6 | 9 | 3 | 9 | 9 | 3 | 7 | 5 | 1 | 0 | 5 | 8 | 2 | 0 | 9 | 7 | 4 | 9 | 4 |
| 60 | 4 | 5 | 9 | 2 | 3 | 0 | 7 | 8 | 1 | 6 | 4 | 0 | 6 | 2 | 8 | 6 | 2 | 0 | 8 | 9 |
| 80 | 9 | 8 | 6 | 2 | 8 | 0 | 3 | 4 | 8 | 2 | 5 | 3 | 4 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 7 | 0 | 6 | 7 |
| 100 | 9 | 8 | 2 | 1 | 4 | 8 | 0 | 8 | 6 | 5 | 1 | 3 | 2 | 8 | 2 | 3 | 0 | 6 | 6 | 4 |
| 120 | 7 | 0 | 9 | 3 | 8 | 4 | 4 | 6 | 0 | 9 | 5 | 5 | 0 | 5 | 8 | 2 | 2 | 3 | 1 | 7 |
Step 2: Triangle Cipher
Get KW2 at page 4 of the module, add the alphabet after it, and then remove duplicates (keeping first occurrences).
Additionally, get the first ten characters of the string and add them to the end of the string, resulting in a 36-character string.
From that string, create 12 three-letter sequences by skipping over the digit shown on the bottom of page 5 until you have used all 36 characters. These 12 sequences are then numbered from 0 to 11.
On pages 4 and 5 of the modules, find the six sequence indexes and their respective directions. These should be mapped to your current 6-letter encrypted word.
For each letter in your encrypted word, grab the letter to the right or the left on each letter's respective three-letter sequence, wrapping around if needed.
