This package implements the MECA, or Missy Elliott Cryptography Algorithm. Specifically, if you gotta big string, lemme search it

> mec::bitprint("a")
01100001

shift yo bits down

11000010

flip it

00111101

and reverse it.

10111100

Inspired by the Ruby project missy_elliott, which is itself inspired from an ancient XKCD comic.

Package Usage

library(mec)

str <- "abc"
str
# [1] "abc"

enc <- encode(str)
enc
# [1] "\xbcܜ"

dec <- decode(enc)
dec
# [1] "abc"

encode(letters)
#      a      b      c      d      e      f      g      h      i      j      k 
# "\xbc" "\xdc" "\x9c" "\xec" "\xac" "\xcc" "\x8c" "\xf4" "\xb4" "\xd4" "\x94" 
#      l      m      n      o      p      q      r      s      t      u      v 
# "\xe4" "\xa4" "\xc4" "\x84" "\xf8" "\xb8" "\xd8" "\x98" "\xe8" "\xa8" "\xc8" 
#      w      x      y      z 
# "\x88" "\xf0" "\xb0" "\xd0" 

There is also a utility you can use to convince yourself that it really does work the way I say it does:

bitprint(str)
# 01100001
# 01100010
# 01100011

bitprint(enc)
# 10111100
# 11011100
# 10011100
