Description
Enigma Machine is a faithful digital recreation of the famous Enigma cipher machine used by the German forces during second world war. Click "More..." to read on.
The Enigma is based on a combination of mechanical rotors, switches, lamps, a typewriter keyboard and a plug board. It is therefore a so called electro-mechanical device.
We have recreated the functionality of the Enigma by emulating the mechanical movement and sounds of the keyboard and rotors. In addition our Enigma also features the so called “Schreibmax” which is a printer which prints the ciphered text on a small paper strip, much like a ticker tape. For educational purposes the paper strip in this emulation not only shows the ciphered text, but also the clear text which has been entered via the keyboard.

Ratings and Reviews
Works well.
At first I couldn't get it to work until I discovered that you need to hold down the keys until the light comes on. Kind of deceiving, because the sound comes out despite not having the key down long enough.
Other than that, it works as described. Could use more documentation on how the enigma works (rotors, plugboard, reflector). I had to install another Enigma app to learn what was really going on.
Lots of fun to play with though.
Works Great!
I was always fascinated by the Enigma Machine and this app let me experience how it felt to use it way back when. From selecting the rotors & configuring the plug board to creating coded messages, everything worked perfectly. A very well done simulation.
German
This should not be sold in America it’s written in German too hard to understand. Do not buy I wasted my money. No instructions.
