Knowledge is power 
Hey there NGU, here I made a tool that uses one of the earliest known uses of encryption. This method of encryption was created by Julius Caesar, who would shift each letter three letters forward in the alphabet (sending the last three letters of the alphabet to the first three). I just made this for fun and thought it was a neat way to show how long encryption has actually been around before computers and how a very simple encryption works. You can take the source code and just copy & paste it to try it out for fun; such as secretly talking to your friend in the shoutbox

Also, here is a main to run it if you don't want to write your own.
Example of how it works:

import java.util.Scanner;
public class Test
{
private static Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
public static void main(String[] args)
{
System.out.print("Enter input: ");
String input = scan.nextLine();
CaesarCipher message = new CaesarCipher(input);
message.decrypt();
}
}
Example of how it works:
Enter input: Hello members of NGU
Encrypted sentence: KHOOR PHPEHUV RI QJX
Decrypted sentence: HELLO MEMBERS OF NGU
Enjoy! primetime43

private void createMap(char alpha, int value)
{
if(alpha == 'Z'
{
mapAlphabet.put(alpha, value);
mapInteger.put(value, alpha);
return;
}
else
{
mapAlphabet.put(alpha, value);
mapInteger.put(value, alpha);
alpha = (char)(((int)alpha) + 1);
createMap(alpha, value+1);
}
}
This part really bothers me, that "return"
Why's that there?

I think I had the recursion a different way at first and then I rewrote it and just forgot to remove that return. :p
I fixed it just for you huehuehue :happyguy:
