The other day I made an encoder that takes user-provided text input and converts it into a series of numbers. These numbers are laid out in the following order:
Starts with 0: Space
Starts with 1: A-Z, a-z
Starts with 2: 1-0 (as formulated on a normal keyboard)
Starts with 3: Special characters typeable on a normal keyboard, in order of where they appear, with non-shift characters coming before their shift counterpart.
Later, I used the same format to encode them into a hexadecimal code. This is in the same layout, though the first number does not define the type of character.
Today, I shared a wall post with one of these hexadecimal codes, this translates into a question of if anyone wants the Python code used to generate these hexadecimal codes. After around three hours, one person solved it, this person being MISTERMEGA.
Now, I am obligated to share the code. So, here it is:
(Note: some comments may vary between versions due to some cleaning up I did today. You will need some form of Python interpreter to run the code. If you have one installed on your device, that'll work great. But, if not, you will need to install one, or use an online one. For example, Online GDB.)
I apologize for any bugs in the code, I can assure you, it ran well on my end, though perhaps copy and pasting it, caused the formatting to get messed up. If you find any bugs, let me know, and I shall attempt to fix them.
