A simple Discord bot which uses cellular automaton to generate images based on encryption keys
!>help- Provides an overview of these commands within Discord!>key- Generates a random encryption key!>vis [key]- Generates a an image based on either a random key, or a specified key!>encrypt (-key [key]) [text]- Encrypts plain text using either a random key, or a specified key!>decrypt [key] [text]- Decrypts encrypted text using either a given key, only the key used to encrypt it can decrypt it
This bot was inspired by another one of my projects, which remains hidden, using cellular automaton to produce these pseudo-random images
To explain it as simply as possible, it converts an encryption key into a binary number, and each digit from the binary number, being binary, is either 1 or 0
This is used to create a 'rule'
The rule determines the value of each pixel by comparing it to the value of the pixels before it
If the values of the pixels before it corresponds to a 0 in the rule (don't worry how), then a dark colour is used, otherwise if it corresponds to a 1, a lighter colour is used
The program checks a relativley small number of cells, or pixels, which means that while it may produce some patterns which do not evolve to be pseudo-random, overall, the images produced will be less chaotic, but will not just be noise
