All: I'm trying to create a "multiplayer" game. Multiplayer meaning we both have the same script on our computer and we send a txt file back and forth to record the events.
I need a way to save data as something other than text. I don't need full blown encryption but something that a human can't read and cheat because the game will then read that text file. A few years ago I saw a code that converted everything to 1s and 0s and it was easy to encode and decode from that but I can't find it.
The data will be strings of text, not just integers. Can someone help me find a simple way to make the text unreadable by human eyes but easy enough the script can do it on the fly?

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
