Daily Codes

Alt-code char:
oh, no. I wouldn't know how to makes those with my keyboard. It's fairly standard alpha-numeric with a bit of !@#$^& thrown in cuz I like it.

The codes are randomly generated, but there is a scheme to them, and it's fairly deep. I ran a decoding simulation of several hundred thousand (>250,000) random codes, and not a single one of them made it thru all the checks.

It was an experiment I wanted to try, and it seems to have worked

Yeah, that it has.

A bit of a shame that we won't get any codes with “♪” or other similarly amusing symbols, but oh well, at least you won't get people complaining they don't know how to input that.


And while I'm at it, you can enter those by pressing left alt (the right alt doesn't work for that), then entering the number for the symbol you want using the numeric keyboard (with Num Lock on, of course), and then de-pressing alt. The musical note (“♪”) is alt+13, for example. But I'm digressing.
