I’m looking for picture unscramblers, since even the recent one still looks like it has a lesser level of horizontal scrambling (like a CRT out of h-sync), comparing with the Reddit one.

Found this: GitHub - naeem-hasan/photo-scrambler: A photo scrambler that can jumble up photos according to user input horizontal and vertical chunks! · GitHub

Maybe not the correct unscrambler, but the results are similar.

I just want to point out that if you open the new image in a text editor it looks weirdly organised compared to how most images look in text editors. Also, if you zoom out, it kinda resembles a sideways audio waveform.

This is what the Reddit image looks like for reference (which is how images usually look like when you open them in a text editor)

Is that a Morse code at the bottom in the blue canal pixel ?

I used to listen to Morse code on my shortwave radio. The dots and dashes should all be uniform to count as morse code

All the pics I have seen present dots and dashes of varying sizes. One dot should not be bigger than another. One dash should not be longer than another

On top of this, there doesn’t seem to be spacing to indicate where a letter/word ends and the next one begins.

I’m pretty sure the picture is a sprite sheet. We need @AdaRynin’s GIF skills.

On the topic of the new image being a less glitched version of the Reddit image, I’ve not seen it mentioned yet (unless I missed it) that the two images are the exact same size: 1600x1000 pixels.

I’ve tried overlaying the two on top of each other with different layer blending modes, but haven’t found anything yet.

Comments are enabled, id seriously appreciate if anyone who’s attempting passwords also adds them onto the comments list here for me to accumulate. I’ll try to glean off as many as I can from the thread itself, but leaving comments would be much more helpful.

So tagging you would be best

I meant comments on the sheet itself since those are all in one place in the same tab.

Are they not open for y’all? Ill go n fix that if that’s an issue :sweat_smile:

The many lines at regular intervals, is just because of the file (binary) representation in a text editor. It most likely finds a value for newline, or carriage return, which is apparently commonly repeated throughout the full binary.

A quick check confirms 0D hex = 13 dec = Carriage Return in ascii, present 999 times, at regular interval. Viewing file content can have all sorts of funky results.

I can highlight individual cells, but I can’t type anything into them.

I tried.

I believe comments should work fine. Right-click > Comment?
Also: ‘View’ > ‘Comments’ > ‘Show All Comments’

You can’t edit cells directly in comments mode, you’ll have to highlight a cell and leave a comment.

I tested it with an alt rn, seems to work fine

Yep! Left it on comment mode to avoid spam, but would open access be better? The link’s on NMScord too, but quite a ways up from the current conversation.

@ThatBomberBoi I personally usually prefer to keep sheets to myself, to avoid any possible mess.
However, comments may expose info you prefer not to share, unless joining anonymously.

As long as the results do not become a mess, and anyone understands how to add to the list, it should work out. Freeze a few lines at the top for instructions?

Hi I posted in the main thread about the two pixilated images looking very similar. We might need to added them together.

I’ll have a quick look and may move your replies over to this topic instead, where we focus on this puzzle.

Morse code?
