Caesar Cipher App

Hi everyone,
Im gonna share my simple apps.

This is a Caesar Cipher message encrypter.

feel free to try it and i appreciate your comments :slight_smile:

Nice work for a first app. Perhaps you could include a button that would let you do the reverse and go from encrypted to decrypted strings?

Cheers.

Thatโ€™s really cool!

One fun thing to try out is to get back to the clear text with a second shift. Since the cipher is just shifting the characters one can create the inverse translation by applying the corresponding 2nd shift.

For example, translating โ€œThis is app is great fun!โ€ with shift โ€œ1โ€ gives โ€œTijt jt bqq jt hsfbu gvo!โ€. Copying this back into the input window and then applying inverse_shift = 26 - shift = 25 to the scrambled text brings the original back. The same works for other shift pairings, like 2 and 24, 3 and 23 etc โ€ฆ
