file strucutre

• main.cpp - program entry point.
• include - folder for header files.
• test - TBD, tests for different models etc.

requirements

To create a debugable .out file, just write make end press enter. the other options are as follows:

• image - makes and creates an image according to the parameters supplied in main.cpp.
• clean clears .out files, any leftovers from compilation and generated images.
• opt - creates an O3 optimized build as opt.out.
