I'm assumeing I don't have to explain the concept here, I made a program that searches a large body of text for hidden words, and returns a sort of coordanant of it, I'm going to try to use that to make a fully automated code matrix search, wich will allow you to enter in a bunch of search terms and it will spit out an N*M grid of letters with the search terms highlighted, just like you see in the TV shows about it, the best/funnest part of all is you can supply your own 'Bible' any text document renamed to _bible.txt in the same directory as the executeable will be used, so you could use the phone book (if you had it on your computer somewere) or you could rename an executeable (though sence most of the data isn't in charicter range bytes I doubt you'd find much) and try and see if there aer any god inspired codes in any of that, the larger the body of text the better.
(it should be noted that searches are extreemly sensitive to changes in text, especaly additions or deletions)
the interface is just hastaly constructed to test the basic functionality of the code, so forgive it's roughness (and quasi workingness) as it'll need to be a full GUI by the time I'm done I didn't feel like spending more than a few seconds writeing that. type in a search term or however many you want, type '~' when you'r done, it'll take a few minutes to search, every bar you see indicates one located instance, the numbers genorated at the end are "charicter space" : "offset" that is how many charicters do you have to skip to form this word starting at the offset. wich isn't realy usefull now, but I think I can use that later (it does show how big of a streach some of these have to be).
I was haveing a problem with the thing turning it'self off after displaying the results without prompting so rather than look up why it's doing this and how to fix it (obviusly there's some noise left in the input buffer), I threw in an extra cin call at the very end, so it'll just hang when done unless you type in some number hit enter then hit enter again, at wich point it will close down.
also I will be suprized if this does not crash as I just did it screwing around this afternoon for the hell of it, and there is some major pointer math weirdness I used, I'm sure I screwed up somewere, and screwing up with that sort of thing is definitely going to cause a crash.
anyway, I just figured you all might find this neat, so have fun with it.
