Some exciting news straight from the seventies...

What is AToM - 1974?

36 characters to learn - 26 letters and 10 numbers from the international set
3 modes to master - encode, decode and transcode
Procedural gameplay - challenges are generated as-you-progress
Reactive manual - manual characters are masked/unmasked based on correct/incorrect answers
Auto-clues - provided on incorrect answers: to supplement character-learning
