just updated the Zodiac Cipher to behave more like a true homophonic substitution system… duplicate letters and repeated characters are now obscured using alternate symbol variants instead of mapping identically every time.
this makes encoded messages feel much closer to the structure and unpredictability seen in the original Zodiac Killer cryptograms, especially around repeated patterns and double-letter sequences that would normally stand out in standard substitution ciphers.
also added URL parameter support for passing the message and mode directly through the link… allowing encoded states to be loaded and shared instantly without re-entering values manually.
more chaotic, less predictable, and much closer to how real homophonic systems try to break visible repetition.
