The recode configurator documentation (and a fun way to explore my 2020 IOCCC Enigma simulator)

    Deliciously Enigmatic: Double-layered Chocolate Fudge Cake

    As I was making the above silly list something occurred to me. My other -entry this year includes a recipe for a wonderful -double-layered chocolate fudge cake but why would it not be included in this one -too? But then if that’s the case why on Earth should it be unscrambled?

    A fun way to explore my Enigma machine, with a surprise

    +

    As I was making the above silly list something occurred to me. My other +entry this year includes a +recipe for a wonderful double-layered chocolate fudge +cake but then +shouldn’t this entry include something that is fun too? But if that’s the case +why on Earth should it be unscrambled? It would be more fun and a great way to +explore this entry if you have to use the Enigma machine to read the message!

    So this is what I offer: if you take one of the settings below and run the -simulator on the file chocolate-cake.html you will have a wonderful -chocolate cake recipe (that even my late stepmum who didn’t even like chocolate -loved - it’s a speciality of my mum’s and they were the best of friends too). If -you’re lazy (or just want some delicious double-layered chocolate fudge cake!) -just go and look at the recipe (or -here if on GitHub) in my other entry. Then -again if you’re lazy you’re probably not reading this far! :)

    The settings is one of the below but a couple questions you might ask yourself:

      The correct settings is listed below but you must determine which one is the +right line. Before you do this here are some things to ask yourself:

      +

      1. Are any invalid input?

      2. Is there some other kind of trickery involved here?

      I can think of the best way to answer these and I think I need not even mention it. Have fun and enjoy!

      BTW: Depending on where you are in this world and how warm it is the icing can -be a bit of an issue - I give some ideas in the file on what can be done for -this. At worst though the icing won’t come out as good as it usually does. -That’s assuming you follow in the instructions exactly as they are; it’s a very -picky recipe.
