cloud encoding done using bigrams to increase efficiency of encoding (how many digits needed to represent 1 character, generic cloud encoding has an efficiency of 2). Can reach an efficiency of 1.5 with large amounts of text. Can have an efficiency of 3.5 (which is awful) when rapidly alternating between letters and numbers (e.g. a1b2c3d4), however thats probly not gonna happen a lot lol first thing ive coded in scratch (or in general rlly) for quite a while .-. part of a project im working on :o
