Enigma machine

A developer has launched a working 3D model of the Enigma machine, the German cipher device used during World War II, playable directly in the browser. The project lets users encode and decode messages by operating a virtual version of the machine, complete with rotors and plugboard. It is drawing attention on Hacker News for combining historical accuracy with modern web design, and for making a piece of cryptographic history accessible to anyone curious about how the famous encryption device worked.
