As a suggestion for spicing up the code (if you want to make it a little trickier for him), you could rotate each letter ninety degrees at a time. Of course you'd need some kind of clue on how to decipher it - maybe arrows forming 1/4, 1/2, and 3/4 of a circle along the top? I don't know, maybe that's too complicated.

If you're just writing the messages plain jane, you could always make a font out of your code. Then you could just type the messages normally and convert it to the code font once you're done.

Bantaras posted:This can be done? Speak truth and teach us o wise mage. Look for "The Font Creator Program 4," it's shareware but highly functional without registering. I've used it in the past. You can paste in rasterized images for each glyph (character) and it will form a vector glyph automatically. It'll be a bit of work to get the font off the ground but it should save you some time afterwards.

Bantaras posted:Am I reading that right? a phone with a bit of airtime for $10? What’s the catch - only like 1 minute of time allotted or some hidden fee somewhere? Cause the WOW factor of getting a cell phone in the mail a waiting for a secret message when you are eight has gotta rate really really high on the coolness scale. I've used pre-paid cellphones in treasure hunts in the past, and they work great. You can get an hour of airtime, a phone number, and a crappy-rear end phone for $15. You can find them on the rack in the electronics department of Target.

Bantaras posted:Been thinking about the Cell Phone... do even the cheap ones have caller ID – showing you the number that’s calling? If so, then it’d be unusable I’m thinking. You could buy two and phone the one you give to your son from the other!
