// Proper way to interact with the program using GUI:

After starting the program please stretch the screens to show the full size and other buttons available to the user.

The menu has 2 options: 1)File: File has 3 options: 1) Load : Clicking this button enables you to choose a file to load from You can load from any file that is of type .txt and contains information inside in the correct format that the program is designed to intake. One example of such a load.txt file is provided in the GUI_OOCT Folder.

   2) Save : clicking this button enables you to choose a file to save to

   TO BE ABLE TO RUN THE PROGRAM FROM TERMINAL USING .JAR FILE AND IDE BY USING PREVIOUSLY SAVED DATA:

   If you are using the terminal and .jar file to run the program then you must overwrite the save.txt file that is in the same directory as the .jar file being run from.
   If you are using the IDE to run the file then you must overwrite the save.txt file that is in the same directory as the src folder.
   Initially the save.txt files mentioned above are set to zeroes, but after doing what is mentioned above
   the program will have the ability to run the next time using previously saved data straight from the terminal and IDE too.
   To start the program fresh or anew with no previously stored data once you have overwritten initial save.txt files you have to set the save.txt files to contain only three zeroes on three different lines.

   3) Quit: terminates the program

// How to run the jar file for this project:

When running from terminal, first you should change the directory of the terminal to the directory of where the .jar file is located. Then you should write the following : java --module-path "C:\Program Files\Java\javafx-sdk-18\lib" --add-modules javafx.controls,javafx.fxml -jar GUI_OOCT.jar save.txt

where the part in the apostrophes should be replaced by your own location of javafx sdk library.

you must run it using one argument which is save.txt, this is the default save file that is initially set to contain only three zeroes on three different lines. The program takes this save.txt file as argument so that when the save file is overwritten the program can be run from terminal using .jar file using the previously saved data.

That is all you are required to know to run this program.

Thank you.
