Will follow along as best I can but can't commit to this today. Sad Perhaps later if it's still unsolved.

 		Hi, new here.
There is an iPhone app called Morster that can convert morse code from a light source through the iPhone or iPad' camera. Just throwing that out there. Wink

i've tried morsemodem & ledcomm apps last night and they were inconclusive regardless of wpm. this is partly because the greys and irregular patterns were throwing off the dits and dahs.

taking the idea from bruce about lining up the flashing patterns and noting the 16x16 grid pattern on the website, i took mr. toasty's concat.png and placed it along a 16 x 16 pixel square -lining them up all the way down. i noticed at the bottom there are 19 blank spots. it may or may not be coincidence that the morse code from the earlier pattern also had 19 dits and dahs and an underscore preceding it.

since it does not contain a reference marker at the top right corner and the questionable greys i doubt it's a micro qr code.

This is quite interesting, considering the website is optimized for iPad viewing.
There's js code and even an image for iPad, the one I've attached.

 		Strange, I got Morster to try it out and at first it was inconclusive but after a few adjustments I got the word 'understood' and then a whole sentence 'should we settle on the' and then nothing else :/ possibly a fluke so will try to recreate results - if I have any joy I'll try to film what it comes up with.

Eh forget it, it isn't going to work. I'm not the only one seeing the about page background animate (the bubbles moving to the right) am I? I'm just asking as it doesn't seem to do this on my iPad's browser but does on Chrome on my Macbook.

 		morse code
I'm a bit out of my element here, but having been a Tech in the Navy and a ham at one time, I thought I'd make at least one contribution to this thread.
The short string of dots and dashes before 'gif' with this spacing is;

.- .-. .--. --. .- -- - . -. ARPGAMTEN Could that be Alternate Reality Prometheus Game Ten' ?

Thanks for the info Ray.. the short answer is yes it could be that.


...if we anagram it we can get many variables like "Mange Trap" "Garnet Map" and "A Gnat Perm" not that gnats like perms. Razz

The barcode theory is great, the concept of binary would be fantastic, the idea of stenography in the gif would have been awesome. The fact that they changed the .gif to "find me" could mean look for my small ass dot on the page or the "code" leads to "website" "crashed ship" .."Jockey beacon"

I wonder why "they" would not just put black and white dot variables "sans the grey" if they wanted straight morse?

Also if you are going to gif a morse code would you not make each dis and dah the same page length? and spaces as such?

You know what.. im pretty good at figuring these hidden code things out....and i got nothin... and i know there are at least 10 people smarter than me on this board..


twinkle twinkle little star how i wonder WTF you are?

I'm not sure why I was mentioned this time. Maybe because when I get to look at it later I'll be like a leach until I find something. Smile

 		Note the reason Morster was throwing out full sentences is because it was picking up Qcodes... basically a combination of three letters with the first being Q. For example it seemed to give out the letters for code QSC - this code translates as 'Are you a cargo vessel?'

Morse code also contains prosigns such as SOS and SN (understood)

If anything, I'm learning morse code in stupid detail. Shame I can't read the bloody blinking light!

If it helps 'understood' has it's own morse abreviation : SN ... .-

OWINN - You posted as I was typing this! Smile
