title: Encryption in Python

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.
