Mexican Army Cipher Disk

About this app

The Mexican Army Cipher Disk was used during the time of conflict between Mexico and the USA shortly before World War I.
You can turn the disks individually (or not). You can lock screen orientation and turn on vibrations.
You can cipher and decipher a message and display the frequency analysis for each disk.
You can break a message searching some keywords.

Note for teachers : in order that your students familiarize themselves with the disk and, initially, only use it (on a tablet available at their disposal, for example), you can first disable the other activities by setting a password from the main activity. Then, you can enable the other activities later.

Ratings and reviews

This is a brilliant app. I'm making a bigger wood version. A-Z a-z 10 numbers on the outside. Total 62 characters, and 10 disks inside with numbers of different bases on each. Its visual. No computer program involved. Thanks for the hard work. If I had your brain power I'd make an app out of it. Sadly I haven't. Well done and thanks.

It's a good wheel, yet they don't tell you how to use the DECIPHER tool.

could you add custom wheels for whatever characters the user wants to enter
