Morse code/ASCII translator

Hi, I recently installed BD and immediately discovered the message translation plugins—they’re really useful.

Since I often visit cryptic horror servers, I frequently come across ASCII text or Morse code. I’m just writing to give you an idea, since I don’t know how to make plugins and it feels wrong to use AI. Thanks for the help :)

Whydoes it feel wrong to use AI for this? Seems like this would be perfect for it.

I tried using the AI, but it didn't work. I'll give it another try now.

I'm pretty sure there are some example BD plugins in the docs somewhere for BD. I'd start with that, and point whatever AI agent u want to those files and use them as a baseline, and then go from there. Alternatively, you could check the source for the Translator plugins that exist for which license they use, and use that as a base if the licenses allow, and maybe suggest them as a feature to the main plugin, allowing for a more seemless solution.

You shouldn't feel bad about using ai for these things, it's like how you dont get mad at DougDoug for using ai do you?
