\section{Technical Background}

The technical background is all the research related to the programming part of
this bachelor project. The programming language used in this project is a
mixture of C and C++, for this part, the course of Systems Programming taught by
Prof. Carzaniga during the third semester. Then came the study of the starting
point of the project, which was divided in the logic itself and the framework
used to display the state of the simulation on the screen.

\subsection{Original project}

Before starting to write any code, it was necessary to study carefully the
original project. The starting point of chosen for this specific project was the
last commit on the \texttt{c++-port} branch. The reason for this choice is that
the project originally started fully in C (which is still the case for the
\texttt{main} branch) and C++ offers more functionalities that help for a
smoother development process.
