Well, I thought of something else I wanted in my program: key listeners! Now, hitting the ENTER key is an alternative to clicking OK throughout my program, and the EXC key can be used to close my program. This took a lot of work, for in order to integrate the key listeners, I had to add and rework...

I spoke too soon again! I thought it would be cool if the text field that accepted the password would display stars instead of the characters, so I added this functionality. I think I am finished now.

I spoke too soon! I went back through my entire program and added titles to all warnings, notices, and frames to make the program more official. I also added icons to warnings and notices. Now I am finished.

I have now added my final improvement to my program. As a security measure, a password must be known in order to run my program. In the program I will be uploading, the password will be Freshbrain (case sensitive). For added security, the program closes on the fourth failed login attempt. I am now...

I have now finished the long process of debugging the entire program. I had to carefully inspect all of my possible exceptions to make sure that they are all caught handled. Now, there is no error that will go unhandled by my program. Am I finished? Is there anything else?

I just finished my new code! In order to make the decoding process easiest for the user, one no longer needs to enter the number of decoding cycles necessary to reach the original message. Now, before coding the original text file, my program enters a specific, secret string that acts as the encry...

I have just finished writing the method that decodes a .txt file that has been coded multiple times. The user must enter the number of decoding passes for this to work. I will try to think of a way to eliminate the need for this…

I just finished adding the capacity to “code the code”. This function successfully opens the .txt file, codes it a specified number of times (specified in a dropdown menu), then saves and closes the file. Here is an example: Let’s say that the user wanted to code “NO.&rdq...

I have successfully tested a system in which I open a .txt file, code it, code it again, and then save it. I wish to take this idea further and improve upon it. I have used linked lists in my method of “coding the code” that is not too time consuming. With my effective algorithm and ...
