Caesar Cipher Python Program (KS3 resource)

This was programmed by me as a teaching aid to allow Year 9 pupils to see both how the Caesar Cipher works and to link it directly to programming and computational thinking. It can be used to have students identify the algorithm, use of items such as strings and lists and other variables as well as procedural programming and as an example of the practical use of Tkinter to code the graphical user interface. Another activity is to have pupils comment the program and to explain the job carried out by each procedure. Sensible names are used throughout the code for ease of tracing and to make it more easily understood. Code also contains some comments.

Please note: on download rename the caesar1.txt file to caesar1.py and keep the gif file in the same file directory as the program file for the image of Julius Caesar to appear in the program.
