Xiya posted some weird music thing yesterday and I noticed we could do something neat with it.
The thing is here:
http://lab.andre-michelle.com/tonematrix
The first person to translate the message in the music wins 2500 nation golds.
The message is in plain English. You also have to explain how you decoded it, so you can't just randomly guess.
Here's the copy/paste code so you can enter it easily yourself:
0,126,126,48,14,92,56,24,0,54,62,0,52,54,16,18
Here's what it looks like:

You must have some [FONT="Trebuchet MS"]crazy[/FONT] accent if you think that's plain English.
I can't tell what it could be at ALL.

Someone solve this alreadyyyyyy.
I want to know the answerrrrrrrr.
Goshhhhhhh!

I started playing with that thing for like 20 minutes before I actually started looking at the message.

I'm trying, but I doubt I'll get it before someone else. I'm not very good at these things. ^^;

"hello world"
Why not use the capitals?
Doesn't everyone like Unicode 8bit? Wish Nexon NA did.

Winner right there.
I noticed it was a 16x16 grid, so I could fit 256 bits of data inside, and had fun seeing what different kinds of data would sound like.

This thing is addictive.
I feel like we should make a thread for this so everyone can post their beautiful music.
Heres mine :P

Yeah, I noticed that potential as well. Which is why I knew what it'd be after looking at it for about 20 seconds.
Took much longer to actually look up each letter in unicode though. And I was messing up on addition at first as well.

+rep me for mentioning it?

How does it say hello world?
How am I supposed to learn anything if it's not swimming with details? D:<
ME WANT KNOW.

The thing is 16x16, or 256 total squares. It can hold anything that's 32 bytes using binary, since binary is nothing more than 1's and 0's, or any representation of of that. You could use rocks and sticks to represent them if you wanted.
Since it's 16x16 it's also very neat, since it can hold 2 bytes per row (8 bits = 1 byte).
So I just made the filled in squares be 1's and blank squares be 0's. I could have done the opposite too, and it would sound different, but mean the exact same thing.
The 1's and 0's make up the "hello world" text, each byte being one character, including space.
If I had a 32 byte or smaller image I could see it in binary, convert it into those square things, and you could "hear" the picture.

Oh that's clever. :P
I kept thinking alphanumeric, but not Binary. xD
Oh well, I learned.
Neato.
