Introduction

The GitHub DNA Project is a creative encoding engine that simulates genetic logic using binary (base-2) and ternary (base-3) DNA-style scripting. Created by Magnus Randa, it features encoding/decoding, visualization, and trait mapping.

Explore the README for an overview and License for terms.

Base-2 Encoding

Converts text to 8-bit binary strings using ASCII character codes. Each character is represented as an 8-bit binary number.

Example: "Magnus" → 010011010110000101100111011011100111010101110011

Decoding reverses the process, converting 8-bit binary chunks back to text.

Base-3 Encoding

Experimental ternary encoding converts text to base-3 (digits 0, 1, 2) using ASCII character codes.

Example: "Magnus" → 2212 2112 2200 2210 2201 2220

Decoding converts ternary numbers back to ASCII characters.

Visualization

The ASCII helix visualizes binary strings as a sine-wave-like pattern, simulating a DNA strand.

Example output for "01":

0
        1
