Important Note:

a lot of the code is still in development and is not ready for production use. alot of windows are half functional and some are not even implemented yet. Also this is my first c++ project so the code is not the best and i am still learning c++ so if you have any tips or tricks please let me know.

Important Note 2:

This project is developed for Mac x86-64 architecture . I have not tested it on any other platform. I am planning to make it cross platform but i am not sure when that will happen.

Important Note 3:

I still need to find some licences for some of the code I used. Please if you find any code that is not properly licensed let me know so i can fix it!
