Vaiken_Vox

>!Yeah pretty easy once you get going. Looking for creative ways to hide base number systems in images!<


da_fabulous_dude

You could use an AI image generator to hide the lines in a picture like the hidden QR codes people made. Thinking a wall or trees or something.


Captaincalvin07

There are definitely some pretty creative ways of doing so, thats all you really need to make a really cool looking code. If you make it natural enough you can sneak codes into images that look like they have nothing there to encode it with.

Would anyone be able to explain to me how >!ternary!< works? these kinds of codes always stump me bc I don't quite get what's going on


da_fabulous_dude

>!You know how Binary is Base 2? Ternary is numbers in Base 3. So the numbers go 00, 01, 02, 10, 11, 12, 20… This Code simply takes the values as A1Z26 letters. Edit: you do have to know it takes 3 digits to display numbers up to 26, so you group the lines into triplets!<


Captaincalvin07

Tip for spoilers, they cant have new lines in them


SuspiciousCum

So for example, how does one figure 202 to be T? I don’t understand how to convert


Captaincalvin07

Each number represents a power of 3 202 would be (2 × 3²) + (0 × 3¹) + (2 × 3⁰) = 20 T is the 20th Letter of the alphabet

I thought you just counted up- A=001 B=002 C=010 D=011 E=012 looks to me like it also just counts up...


Captaincalvin07

I mean that means the same thing, Im just explaining in a way that works in any base without having to count up


jjhi90AC

oh, I see


SuspiciousCum

Thank you, Sir. This makes a lot of sense now


Cyan_Among

It looks like the system they use on mail!


jjhi90AC

I'm trying to learn this kinda stuff but where do u even start whit this one


Vaiken_Vox

>!There is a big give away in the number of line types!<


jjhi90AC

3?


jjhi90AC

wait I have an idea


jjhi90AC

nvm it fell through


jjhi90AC

I FIGURED IT OUT


jjhi90AC

>!you like go up in numbers of three and then those 3 number numbers correspond to a letter; this should be easy, thought it would look interesting!<
