Make your own secret code

This will hopefully help you to make your own written code, which only you will be able to read, or someone else, should you share the Alphabet.

Step 1 Find your style

You have a few questions to ask yourself,

Should my script write left to right? Or top to bottom?

Will I have the same amount of symbols as the number of letters in your Alphabet, for example English has 26 letters, same number of symbols? Or a couple of symbols that stand for the same letter? P.S, doing that really screws people who try to break the code.

Are your symbols going to be broken, or all one continuous line (like mine).

Are you going to use a symbol for spaces between words (which works best for systems that are all on one line, again you'll see what I mean when you look at those pictures.)

Are you also going to to make a number system (P.S its pretty hard.)

hey r u able to write out the alphabet and then write your code next to it? i used to be really good at making them up but now i need another one since i lost my others lmao

[brainiac120]

almost done mine is called "shark teeth" where triangles and x's represent "shark teeth" also there are multiple symbols for letters and symbols for an,of,and the. but your code is way better!

[El Mano]

Can you read it fluently, like English? How did you work up to that?

4-26-26-13...... have fun finding that.

[dodo91]

cool?

Anus?

oh i see it's the numbers corrosponding to its position in the alphabet

I made a code that writes in one line, like yours, but has seprate symbols for A, An, and The to throw off anyone trying to break it, along with 7 of the letters having two symbols.

47.537.5062.537.552.54547.5022.547.503022.53512.547.5?

 let me guess book cypher? 1st numbers are lines the next are corresponding words

[crazyhalofreak]

have you tryed a layered code? like, taking a message, coding it one way where certain letters represent others, and then translating THAT into your alphabet? so, once they cracked your alphabet, theyd need to know a key word to know the message.

[WereCheetah]

it wouldn't work, they would just skip knowing the real alphabet and learn the coded one. What you would have to do if you wanted to code it again is have multiple letters mean one letter so that they couldn't skip stages.

or make it depend on math equations to form numbers which equal letters i have a different layer in my code that depends on the date it was sent

[crazyhalofreak]

i dont even remember posting that it's been so long. lol

[GeekBeam]

 yeah i might post it later on if i have time

[GeekBeam]

uh how about something like this

[GeekBeam]

if you can see it

[GeekBeam]

eh might as well send a link fontstruct

[GeekBeam]

it's free

[GeekBeam]

using this with the spy-tech practical codes 'ible makes it almost impossible to break it unless you are the feds

[orangewolf22]

oooooooooooooooooooooooh! sneaky!

[ampeyro]

wow, i did my own phonetic alphabet in high-school(i was realy bored in language classes), i never imagined that i could make an instructable about it

[fireblast_1212]

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiicccccccccccccccceeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!

[NightScrawler]

www.omniglot.com is a really great site for stuff like this. You can even post your writing system up there and challenge them to decipher it.

[Shaman of Bliss]

Thanks, I was thinking of trying something like that, got any good computer font creators you'd like to post a link too?

[iman]

you can also enter this into a computer font creator and use it in email.

Cool script! Variations on the number could include using roman numeral style or a different base number instead of 10. I've done quite a few things along the same lines. Mostly for gaming props and maps. The last one I did was for a dragon language, made up of scratches and holes (claw writing). Yours reminds me of the alphabet from the movie/tv show Alien Nation (1988/89).
