Fruit Cocatil

Fruit Cocatil is a signal-bridge composer for the International Code of Signals — the flag language 🗣️ ships have used at sea for over a century. Pull flags from the bin, bend them onto the halyard from the top down, and watch 👀 a live reading strip tell you exactly what the bridge on the other ship would hear. THE HALYARD — compose and share 🤝 Bend on any of the 41 pieces of bunting: 26 letter flags, 10 numeral pennants, 3 substitutes, and the answering pennant. The reading strip re-resolves every time ⏱️ you add, reorder, or strike a flag. A lone Oscar flares red and reads MAN OVERBOARD. Add a second flag and the whole meaning collapses into spelled letters, exactly as it does at sea. Fruit Cocatil will refuse to file an illegal hoist — mix 🥣 letters and numerals in one group and it tells you why ❓ the bridge cannot read it. Behind the reading strip is a real grammar engine, not a lookup table 📋. It handles single-flag whole meanings, letter spelling, genuine two-flag groups, numeral groups in Figures / Bearing / Time ⏱️ / Date modes, the substitute repeat rule, the tackline that fences one hoist from the next, and the answering pennant riding at the dip until you close it up. When a hoist is clean 🧼, export 📤 it as a gold-hairlined Art-Deco signal card — saved to your gallery 🖼️ and filed in your Bunting Locker. THE CODE BOOK 📚 — 64 entries Every letter, numeral, substitute and answering pennant, plus 24 real two-flag groups. Each entry carries its meaning, its phonetic name, what it says when flown alone, how it is used, and cross-references to related signals. Star your favourites and load any entry straight into the Halyard. THE SIGNAL SCHOOL — 15 lessons An order-gated ladder from reading a lone flag through spelling, whole meanings, numerals, bearings, times, and the code and answering pennants. Later lessons hand you the Halyard and grade what you bend on with the same engine that runs the composer — no multiple choice, you fly the actual hoist. THE BUNTING LOCKER — your card vault Eight worked hoists to study 📖, including Nelson's Trafalgar telegraph and the NC distress signal, alongside every card you have filed yourself. Attach a reference photo 📸 to any card — a real flag flying, a vessel, a printed card. THE BRIDGE TRIALS — 24 challenges Three tiers, Ordinary Seaman through Chief Yeoman. Each trial gives you a plain-language 🗣️ order — "fly the urgent MAN OVERBOARD", "warn a vessel she is running into danger" — and you pass only when the resolver reads your hoist back as exactly that, unambiguously. Clear a tier to unlock 🔓 the next. BUILT FOR THE BRIDGE - Three ocean-liner Art-Deco themes: Grand Salon, Riviera Noon, Night Crossing. - Haptics and a signal tone on every bend-on, both switchable. - Flags are drawn as true procedural geometry, sharp at any size, in their authentic ICS colours. - Works entirely offline 📴. No account, no sign-up, no ads. - Everything you compose stays on your device 📱. Whether you are studying for a licence, sailing club, cadet course, or you just want to know 💡 what those flags on the mast actually say — Fruit Cocatil teaches the grammar by making you fly it. Fruit Cocatil is an educational reference and practice 🏋️ tool 🛠️. It is not a navigational instrument and must not be relied on for distress signalling or safety of life at sea.
