Some Information About Mr. Rivers

Hey! I'm Danidre, a game programmer, web developer, and software engineer. My name is Carlonn Rivers and I'm pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science. My favourite language is JavaScript, and with it I have experience in developing 2D games, APIs, websites, servers, and more. I started programming 7 years ago and have moved from copy pasting code from YouTube tutorials, to copy pasting code in my own YouTube tutorials. Nowadays, my YouTube channel is an inactive archive of some of my past projects, and my most recent games are uploaded on my website. Learning C++ so far has been really exciting, because I always enjoy experimenting with code, pushing boundaries, and testing limits to see where applications break."

Solution Strategy

The first thing I noticed when I saw the 1s and 0s was that there were 9728 of those chars, so I knew I could get an even number of converted chars. However, when logging the converted chars, I saw some unrecognizable symbols, so I decided to work with the integer numbers representing the char codes. The integer -13 appeared often enough to be a spacebar, which is supposed to have the integer value of 32, so I decided to add 45 (-13 + 45 = 32) to all integers, and finally started logging them again as chars. To my amazement, the message was decrypted! The biggest issue I had was formatting the code and deciding where to put spacings.
