Very nice. Helped me understand the Enigma mechanism itself.
Could you add a little window that we could use to paste the code in to decrypt it? I find that I have to paste it in another window (like word) and then copy it from there on out.

Great application. Really enjoyed using it. Are you developing it further?
Would love to see the case encorporated – the windows all in one interface.

Perhaps you could expand the enigma part of your website – some background and links to the IWM and Bletchly park etc.

Very cool simulator! I was playing around with it last night. Wish I had found this before my sons birthday party last year. We did a “Spy” party theme and had other codes and encryption for them to do… this would have been great fun for them to do.

Very nice piece of work. You might consider adding walzen VI, VII, & VIII. Maybe even add another rotor to provide M4 simulation … it’s pretty cool as it is though.

The wires look awesome.

One thing that I noticed, though…while the Shreibmax remembers the size that I set it to previously, it doesn’t draw the tape correctly unless I resize the window. See the screenshot below:

In the next version, could you make it remember which windows were open previously, so one doesn’t need to do Cmd+2 and Cmd+3 to open the Steckerbrett and the Shreibmax?
