My first program

[AverageJoe]

This is my first program, just wanted to see what you guys think.

Its in python, which i will recomend as a great language to learn in.

import string
letters = string.ascii_lowercase + string.ascii_uppercase + string.punctuation
word = (raw_input("what word would you like to encode ?"))
encoded = ''
for letter in word:
    if letter == ' ':
        encoded = encoded + ' '
    else:
        x = letters.index(letter) + 5
        encoded = encoded + letters[x]
print encoded

if you can't tell what it does, it cyphers text.

Ex. the above would be

Dtz hfs,y yjqq Bmfy ny itjx; ny hDumjwx yjCy=

all you have to do to decypher it is change the + 5 to -5 lol

it's simple, but i think its cool.

Pretty cool. You use a developer or text compiler?

I like to do things like that, I make stuff that is impossible to decrypt (to original form) good for custom algorithm passwords.

Well Done, How Long Did I Take?

oh this was the program that you showed me on aim. I like it and its worth using.

[nilayz]

Nice script, though I would suggest making the processing a bit more complex, as simple shift ciphers are very easy to break

I don't recall talking to you on aim.

 

anyways, I got it down pretty quick, the only hard part was figuring out how to get the z to shift up.

I think it's cool!

[wwe9112]

How do u test it? Sorry to ask such a noob question.

[awesomegamer]

You need to compile and run it.

A compiler is a program the converts readable code into a machine language so that it can run.

Not bad, it could be fairly useful at times.

[naynesh]

i think ill try and do that some day

[njenkins3]

wow fascinating stuff! i'm learning how to create web sites right now and next year i'm probably going to get into a few college courses to get my bachelors in web designing!

I have counted something like 5 spam posts...

 

Did you lift the code off the internet (gasp!) or did you actually write it all by yourself? I know a couple of my friends write codes, though one of them just lifts it directly off the internet.

[AverageJoe]

Wow that is from back in the day.

I wrote that by myself, but now I'm onto loading 3d models, and making animation using opengl!

It's funny how things work out, I don't even use python anymore, I've moved onto c++.

Wow, you mean this code was old? So, do you have a professional graphics rendering program or what? Like Xara or Photoshop Elements CS3 or do you just use GIMP for the 3D models?
