====Patrick==== # Work Done over Break #* Added and ruled out several ciphers on the [[Cipher Cross-off List|Cipher Cross-off List]], including the Atbash Cipher, Baconian Cipher and Number-based ciphers #* Completed all the Pattern Matching functions. #** These include: #*** ExactMatch - to detect exact String matches, e.g. a search for "ABAB" is successful in "Kebab ahoy!" #*** ExactMatchInitial - the same as ExactMatch but only uses initial letters in detections #*** PatternMatch - to detect patterns in Strings, e.g. a search for "ABAB" is successful in "Crisis" #*** PatternMatchInitial - identical to PatternMatch but only uses initial letters in detecting #** These functions have all been successfully tested #** I have written a short report detailing the workings of the code as well as it's strengths and weaknesses #* Investigated some methods for including bar charts (frequency plots) in the Cipher GUI #* Set up the project's svn repository to encourage collaborative work, and added the pattern matcher software to it #* Visited the Somerton Man Photography and Paint exhibition titled "The Body on the Beach" at the Bay Discovery Center. Very thought-provoking and intriguing. # Goals for Next Week #* Identify and test more ciphers for the cross-off list #* Start looking at integrating pattern matching code into a candidate web crawler #* Bug Steven to add the Cipher GUI to the svn repository so I can work on it and implement some ciphers #* Review the goals and timelines of the project to ensure we are still on track
