Enigma.cpp

Enigma Simulator by James A. McCombe, 2013

Small tribute to Alan Touring after an inspiring visit to the amazing Bletchly Park museum in Milton Keynes. This is a quick hack to simulate an Enigma machine used during World War II.

I highly recommend this webpage to learn about the mechanics of the Enigma machine that is being simulated here:
