 		[FUN] Making Codes
The object here is to make your own codes and show them off. Mine is the Back and Forth Cipher. First letter is shifted 1 letter forward, second letter is shifed one letter backwards. Now the twist: The third letter is shifted 2 letters forward and the fourth is shifted 2 letters backwards, etc.

My Example:

SHR YQLE DJVZZ

Wait.. huh? Wouldn't that come out to be like this:

A - B (1 forward)
B - A (1 backward)
C - E (2 forward)
D - B (2 backward) - wait now we have 2 B's!

Or am I not reading you correctly?

Surely you mean SHR YQLE DJVZB?

In this he means the letters of the code, not the letters of the alphabet, i.e. ?+1=S. ?-1=H... and so on.

 		How about a QWERTY code?
Q=A, W=B, E=C, R=D, T=E, Y=F, etc... ending with M=Z. Wink

 		How about this: Multiple String Substitution (MSS)

Instead of replacing a word for a word, every time the word is used, the substitution changes.

E.G.

"Hi there, There is a dog, a cat and a rabbit near you."

Using this Table:
# / 1 / 2 / 3 (No. of uses of word)
Hi / Pen
There / Fish / Seal
is / pig
a / the / mine / live
dog / ink
cat / log
and / ping
rabbit / slot
near / lie
you / pog

Becomes "Pen Fish, Seal pig the ink, mine log, ping live slot lie pog."

As long as the table is safe, the code is unbreakable when used once.
