in FDAC :: Morse code is a method of coding messages into long and short beeps, often transmitted using continuous wave.

This is the first entry to the Fancy Delphi Application Contest

This little fabulous ("useless") application will play Morse codes as you type character into a console-looking window.

When you download the application and test, rate it:

  1. Excellent
  2. Superb
  3. Good
  4. Average
  5. Poor

C’mon guys .. you cannot rate this gem with “Poor” or “Average” :(

Or, you can, if you fave a FDA you can submit and your is better!

With some minor tweaking this is actually a useful program for those who are learning Morse code or for the visually impaired who want auditory feedback while typing. Maybe my ears have lost sensitivity but I can’t quite make out the difference in the “dit” and “da” beeps of this program.

@Derek: yes, an “old” one. Re-posting it again after several years for those who missed it back then :)

I would rate the app as poor because:
a) digits and special chars are missing in the morse codeset
b) initilization of the morse code array is messy; a const array should have been used
c) there is no separate class for morse encoding – bad for reusing
That’s ok for a fun app, but it doesn’t teach how to write good code.

mmmm – what about a program to DEcode Morse code – tapping the space bar, or an input from a port etc?
Have an idea of how to do that – just not much time
