Re: [tor-dev] Fwd: Games Without Frontiers: Investigating Video Games as a Covert Channel

Thanks! The decision to make the video was actually largely influenced by how useful I found the visualizations in the child's garden of PTs.

We'll post some samples of encoded messages in a couple of weeks.

Thanks for posting this! I just saw this Wired article and associated
demo video:

I want to thank you for making the demo video. This is exactly the kind
of visualization that I think aids understanding. It is one thing to
read about it; it's another to see the buildings laid out in a grid and
a textual representation of the game commands. I added a link to it in
the Child's Garden of Pluggable Transports.

Feel free to edit it and add what you like. I think it would be great to
have an example of an encoded message.
