MEDA102- Week 1: Coding Exercise

In our first workshop for MEDA102, our exercise was to use a coding system where we needed to decode a message to work out what our opposing team was trying to communicate to us. For example, our team used a morse-coding system where instead of each letter being represented by a series of lines and dots (morse code), our version of a morse code was where each letter was represented by two coloured pieces of paper i.e. red and green as a morse code. Red represented by dots and green represented by lines and when we needed to start a new letter was represented by white and a new word represented by red and green together.

We believed this colour coding system was a simple and accurate method of coding that could easily be understood by the opposition, but cannot by intercepted without having the code diagram. Our coding system could not be intercepted by our tutor and I thought that if we use a colour coding system, it would be hard to intercept as the colours could have been represented by anything. Red could have been represented by line and green represented by dot and vice versa.
