There are 8 unique combination of border/fill/height for each of the flames on the border (10 if you count the orange ones, but they look like noise to me).
- Red,Green,Tall
- Red,Green,Short
- Red,Purple,Tall
- Red,Purple,Short
- Yellow,Green,Tall
- Yellow,Green,Short
- Yellow,Purple,Tall
- Yellow,Purple,Short
I think there is a real possibility that this a representation of
octal, but not direct octal > text. I think it might be encoded a couple of levels... Something like octal > hex -or- binary > Morse > etc.
There are 40,320 possible ways to assign 0-8 to each of the color/height combinations. Also, not knowing the direction to read the information makes it more of a shot in the dark. So manually checking this might be unreasonable, and even scripting this is going to produce quite a bit of information to sift through. It would be nice if there were some clues available that might narrow the possibilities. I will try to script this out when I have some time. I think it might be best to grab a small sample rather than the whole thing.
If anyone has the ability to get this scripted out faster than me, I would really appreciate it if you would share your code with me.
