Hi, I really like the work you've done with the animation.
However, your simulator is not working properly. It's missing key features:
- Ring settings
- Ground / Indicator settings
- Double step anomaly
- Decryption
Other notes:
In the manual it says: The positions of the rotor can also be configured but that isn’t configurable yet, because it’s a relatively minor detail.
It's not a "minor" detail, it's a key feature.
- You can choose 4 reflectors, 2 of them are THIN reflectors which were used ONLY in the Naval Enigma (M4) because the model had one additional static rotor to the three rotors. I am confused what model are you trying to simulate. Your manual says "the three rotor machine" which is neither a model, nor true.
- I tried decrypting the ciphered code in 2 different simulators, both of them gave me the same result, which wasn't the original plain text message I've entered.
- I don't want to wait 15 seconds just to see one letter get encrypted, it will be good to speed it up, and highlight the routes maybe?
I understand if you wanted to show how observable.js works, but I do not like that it is a half-finished but published simulator. It gives a nice inside look of the rotor configuration and the current's path but it is definitely not ready for proper use.
