Contributions
The contribution policy for this project is the same as my other projects. If you want to contribute, please fork the repository and create a pull request. I will review your changes and merge them if they are acceptable. If you have any questions or suggestions, please feel free to open an issue or contact me directly.
Here is an excellent guide on how to create pull requests and forks to request changes. I suggest using the addon "Better Comments" on Visual Studio Code as it makes the comments more readable. If you can not use the addon, I have used the following tags to make the comments more readable:
- #todo: This is a todo
- #*: This explains the code
- #!: This is a warning
