i believe binary code was ruled out too ...a half dozen times or so...

I frankly haven't ruled anything out since nobody's been able to reliably get the data to scale. The 6x6 layout seems highly likely, but only if our assumptions about which column a dot goes into when it's not obvious are correct.

I've also looked into mainframe storage code. Problem is that there are reasonably too many possibilities.

Also, we've tried overlaying the dots on maps of the convention center as well as that breadboard diagram from the phony interview.

Hey guys, new to the forum but I have been watching this forum for a while. I got one of the 'golden' tickets to the Toronto Tron trailer. Got a shirt.

I just got the Vice Squad postcard in the mail. I don't have a black light, but judging what I have seen. Has anyone merged all three code blocks over top of each other? Has that revealed anything?

I tried the ADFGVX cipher decode on the combined dot matrix (using both encom and nowplayingatyourlocalarcade as the key) as suggested by wolfpdx I think and that was no joy either.

Just a thought - add a link at the top to a pic of the 4 cards & dot patterns?

Cheers

FilmEdge

If it helps: the timeline on EncomInternational lists July 9, 1982 as the date Kevin Flynn was rehired by the company as SVP of Creative Development � presumably signified by the final shot in the movie.

That also happens to be 28 years ago today.
