Pigpen cipher caches

[+Coach Steve]

I want to use the pigpen cipher to put out a cache, but can't figure out how to put the "pigpens" on my cache page. Can anyone help me?

you're going to have to put them into an image. using photoshop or any lowly alternative (MS paint) you put the "letters" together into a single image and then upload that to the cache listing. then you use an HTML description to embed the picture into the listing.

Thanks a lot.

A faster way of doing this is to type it in something like this, then do a screen capture and crop away the parts you don't need.

If you need help with this drop me an email, I'm a graphic artist. I can create the image and the code.

We just put one out in May (GC28E1N) but we didn't use the cipher on the cache listing. Instead we made ours a 3 part multi. The first stage contains cards printed with the coords for the final in "Pigpen" and coords for a second stage where the key can be found. Seems to have worked out pretty well, so far.

There is a Pigpen cipher Truetype font out there. You can just type the message using it in a word processor and then capture an image of the page. Quite easy.
