Enigma Algorithm 100% figured out with Add/Subtract/Lookup

A project log for Mystery 6502 program for the Kim Uno #1kBChallenge

The #1kBChallenge inspired me to dust off the Kim-Uno and write an Enigma Z30 simulator. This is a very rare numbers only Enigma Machine.

After a couple of days of struggling to come up with a simple algorithm involving addition, subtraction and one table lookup, the algorithm for one rotor is complete. In comes a 9, out comes a 3. Even better, the steps for the group of instructions at the bottom are the same as the top, just feeding it a fixed input of 0, done with a call to a subroutine, then subjecting the output of another round of (if negative, add 10). Need to investigate byte savings of making a (if negative, add 10) subroutine...
