This project is a reconstruction of a previous work from my first introduction to computer science course. The main purpose of this project was to demonstrate understanding of OOP as well as familarizing myself with using git as a DVCS. An in-depth understanding of class relations, as well as the purpose of an interface's 'contractual' inheritance was gained from building this program, twice. I learned the importance of backing-up files the hard way... which is where using git came into play. The oportunity for source code version control, as well as a cloud based instance for backing up data (along with multiple others) was met with open arms.
The interface was used to gain understanding of the contractual relationship between a class that implements an interface.
