Caesar and Delphi

Note from James 15 years later: I’m leaving this here because it’s cute and an early example of my experimentation in multiple languages that would serve me well throughout my career. I find the casualness of it amusing now. The download link is long since dead, and who’d want to run a Delphi program that a 20 year old wrote?

While bored yesterday I decided to have a go with programming in Delphi, something which I’ve been intending to do for quite some time now. Anyway, here is the result.

It’s a simple cryptography program based on the shifting letters (Caesar Shift) methods. Took me about two hours, not bad to say I’ve never programmed in Delphi before.

Delphi seems nice, I’m not too keen on the syntax of the language though. Its all rather too much like VB for my likings, messy and unstructured. Maybe that’s just me though.
