P2 Potential Idea - Text Encryption

[dauger27]

My first idea was similar to the Pig Latin example, a basic text "encryption" application.

Text Encryption

Message

This would be a text box which would collect the user's text to modify. I would explicitly mention that non-alpha characters are left unencrypted to reduce complexity at this time.

Encryption Type

This section would be radio buttons:

• Caesar Cipher
• Scrambled (mixing letters up except for first and last).
• Both (doing one followed by the other in some order) - not certain yet if I would this

The types above would have subset information required.

Caesar Cipher

• A dropdown to determine left/right encryption.
• A text field to determine the numeric shift (text field over dropdown to allow for data validation).

Scrambled

• A checkbox to scramble 2/3-letter words (which by default wouldn't be scrambled).

Both

• A dropdown to determine the order of operation of the other types.

Does this seem doable for Project 2?

@dauger27 - Sounds like a great concept for Project 2, and certainly doable. I like your clear/organized plan.
