Harry so you said no pre written scripts you didn’t make are allowed, so I’ve made my own python simulated annealing script, but it uses the ‘math’ and ‘random’ built in libraries. Is this fine or do I have to make my own? Btw after all the suffering by the end, I’ll put a thank you message on the forum, but don’t think I’m gonna go easy. It will be encrypted – but not too complicated don’t worry (I can’t be bothered to do that ha)
Standard maths and stats libraries are fine, string handling, frequency counting and cipher libraries are not. There is a grey area, and you should check with us like you have done here. If we have already answered elsewhere we can’t guarantee to respond to every query (there are THOUSANDS of you out there!) but will do our best to make sure the rules are as clear as possible. Thanks for the heads up re the thanks! Might be a useful crib 😉 Harry
