A simulated enigma machine I made for my Cyber Security presentation. The rotor ratchet combo is designed the way they are because I did not implement a reconfiguration mechanism for the individual, un-slotted rotors.

Terms:

 - Rotors - Walzen

 - Ratchet settings (alphabet ring) - Ringstullen

 - Plugboard - Grundstellung

 - Lampboard - Glūhlampenfeld

Controls:

 - Click and drag a rotor into one of the three slots.

 - Click the up and down arrows to rotate the rotor/ratchet.

 - Click The Anarchy symbol to reset the rotor/ratchet's orientation.

 - Click one plug on the plugboard, and then another to create a link. Click a plug with a link to unlink it.

 - Start typing. A light on the lightboard will light up with the encoded keypress.

Thank you to the National Cryptologic Museum for letting me see and use a real machine.
