So this is my reverse program. It still has a lot of errors. Like, don't even try running it. I ought to have it fixed by next week sometime.

If you want to know how many errors are in the program, see picture at top.





EDIT:
Here, I felt real bad like about not actually finishing anything this week, so I made a program that prints out Fibonacci numbers.

#Fibonacci
import time
fib=1
n=0
temp=0
#def nextNum():
#    print('Do you want to go the the next number in teh sequence? (y or n) '),
#    return raw_input().lower().startswith('y')
while True:
    n=fib+temp
    print n
    temp=fib
    fib=n
    #time.sleep(.01)

If you actually want to see any of the numbers, change #time.sleep(.01) to time.sleep(.5)

Cipher:
The program asks you to input a string and whether you want to encrypt or decrypt it. If you choose encrypt, you input your string and a key and it moves X ASCII characters up. If you decrypt it, you input a string and a key and it moves X ASCII characters down. More exciting stuff to come.
