# Requirements

1. To run the app, all you need is python3 and tkinter. You can download them here: [https://www.python.org/downloads/](https://www.python.org/downloads/)

# Usage

Run ```python3 src/ui.py```. You should see something like this:

The program ignores everything other than characters in the Latin alphabet ```[a-zA-Z]```.

It is possible to shift the text either direction. For example shifting text back 1 letter is equivalent to moving the text forward 25 letters. This also makes it easier to reverse ciphers. If you already know how many letters a piece of text is shifted forward, put a minus in front of that number to unscramble the text.
