During my last year of highschool, I designed my very own text encryption
-algorithm and wrote software to encode/decode it.
-
-I was tasked in the context of
-one of my classes to carry a project of my choosing. This class' goal
-was mainly to teach students about managing long term project when
-it comes to deadlines, research and organisation. The project itself
-however, didn't matter and could be whatever you dreamed about.
-
-There's a student that wrote a recipe book, another built a potato gun.
-When it came my turn to pick, I decided I wanted to do something related
-to software development and math: A text encryption software utilizing
-a custom algorithm that I had made. Let's be real, the algorithm itself
-isn't good by any stretch of the imagination, but it did drive me to
-be creative and to learn a whole lot about information theory.

+custom algorithm I made to understand core concepts in information theory.
