A revision of that voice cipher thing I made. This time, it has the same size, but with better sound.
File type = "ooTextFile"
Object class = "LineSpectralFrequencies 1"

Ooh, what's this? A hint?
form Make a voice hum
	positive Frequency
	positive Length
endform
Create Sound from formula: "hum", 1, 0, length, 44100, "1/2 * (frequency*x mod 1) + randomGauss(0,0.1)"
does it sound anything like this?

No, it's not. The fact that it's in Snap! is already a red flag (unless if Snap! allows sending in arbitrary audio samples).

I added the ciphers, and updated the rules a bit because I'm going to redesign the points system. It will be like the DeCoins, but the difficulty will be based on how long it takes to solve.

Is that a solving attempt? You don't really need to use “spoiler tags”.

Hint: Cloud variable letter encryption

Wrong.

While the URL is almost correct, you're going to have to do some spell-checking on it, because I intentionally didn't include every character in it in the list of characters. Additionally, the case isn't always correct because Scratch doesn't really have case-sensing, but this does matter in the URL.

i feel the need for another hint.
i got a bit closer with https://scratch-mit-edu.ezproxyberklee.flo.org/projects/1111046105/
put it in [spoiler tags] so other people solving this don't cheat.

You need to post a cyberchef or other code/explanation how you solved it.

This cipher can't be completely solved by cyberchef, due to it's nature

But the explanation is relatively straightforward.
Not going to tell anyone here because of spoilers

If you've solved it, you don't need spoilers.

It's my cipher

I know how to solve it, and @davidtheplatform does, but so far, nobody else that I know of does.

So I'm going to save the solution for someone else to post- otherwise, I'd be giving away the answer.

50_scratch_tabs

Wait, what's going on here? I'm so confused. Has the cipher been solved?

Yes, but the person who solved it did not provide an explanation, and I refused to do so on the grounds that I created the cipher and that giving an explanation would be giving away the answer, which would be unfair to those who want to try to solve it (and provide an explanation).

Yes, so the person who solved it needs to provide an explanation to get credit. Sorry if I confused everyone by quoting the wrong person.

Nope.
[YES, YOU FOUND IT]

Explanation:
I'm not completely sure how the decode method works. I think the process is: Get the first digit. If it's a 0, add a space. Otherwise, get another digit, concat with the first one, and use it as an index into the provided table. Using it on the first input line gives a corrupted version of "https://en.scratch-wiki.info/wiki/User:BigNate469/thing“. That page has the project id ”828777617“. That project has the string ”36163011513626325117263225155120310“ in its notes. Decoding that gives ”YES, YOU FOUND IT"

Anyone remember the last topic?

Solution: [Yes, this was the same idea as the welcome cipher from last topic.]

I will add this as solved.

I will also add some ciphers of mine from the previous topic, and anyone else is welcome to do the same same.
