Cipher Encoding Techniques in Python

Description
This project implements various ciphers and encoding techniques using Python, including:
* Fake First Letter Repetitive Cipher: Encodes a message by inserting fake letters into words in a repetitive manner.
* Fake First Letter Recursive Cipher: A recursive variant of the fake first letter cipher, adding fake letters to words recursively.
* Roman-Arabic Repetitive Cipher: Encodes a message using a dictionary of Roman vowels and Arabic consonants.
* Roman-Arabic Recursive Cipher: A recursive variant of the Roman-Arabic cipher.
* Naval Battle Cipher (Iterative): Encodes a message by placing letters on a grid, similar to a naval battlefield.
* Naval Battle Cipher (Recursive): A recursive variant of the Naval Battle Cipher, encoding and displaying a message in a grid-like table.

Requirements
To run this project, you will need:
* Python 3.x
* The following Python libraries:
1. matplotlib for plotting
2. unidecode for handling accent removal
3. numpy for numerical operations
4. PyQt6 for the graphical user interface (GUI)

You can install the required libraries using:
pip install matplotlib unidecode numpy PyQt6 

How to Run
1. Clone or download this repository.
2. Open a terminal or command prompt and navigate to the project folder.
3. Run the Python script using the following command:
python main.py

Usage
Once the script is running, you will be prompted to enter a phrase for encoding. The respective cipher will process the phrase and output the encoded message, along with any relevant visual representations (e.g., grid tables for the Naval Battle Cipher).
