How to use

In order to import the specific Gui interface follow the next pattern.

Being for general interfaces:

from console_interfaces.general.{INTERFACE} import ...

where {INTERFACE} needs to be substitued by the interface name.

And for specific interfaces:

from console_interfaces.specific.{EXERCISE}.{INTERFACE} import ...

where {EXERCISE} is the name of exercise being worked on and {INTERFACE} needs to be substitued by the interface name.

How to add interfaces

If the interface is only specific to one exercise add it as a specific interface, if not the add it to general. Also the naming scheme that needs to be followed when naming a new interface file is snake case or lower case with underlines.

For reference, please refer to the existing interfaces.

General Interfaces

Specific Interfaces

• Create a directory named after the exercise name inside of the specific directory.

How to add to an exercise
