  • Enhancements/Features Implemented
    1. Enhanced help window
      • PR(s): #39, #148
      • Created dropdowns to display information for each command.
      • This gives users more accessibility to help if they just need a quick reminder on how a specific command is used, instead of requiring them to go to the user guide (although that option is still available for them).
      • This also allows our app to be more user friendly when functioning without an internet connection.
    2. Refactoring of UI component of AB3 for LingoGO!
      • PR(s): #69, #73, #106
      • Refactored the UI component to let the app display flashcards.
      • Created the app logo.
    3. Slideshow feature
      • PR(s): #106, #109
      • Implemented the frontend for the slideshow feature to receive updates from Model and Logic so that the correct information is displayed to users.
      • This feature allows users to test their memory of their flashcards. The app displays flashcards to them one at a time, and they can key in an answer for each flashcard. The app then tells them whether they remember correctly or incorrectly.
    4. Fixing up of UI bugs
      • PR(s): #59, #196, #222, #223
      • Fixed font issues on macOS for help window.

      • Fixed issue where alert windows would cause the app to crash for some macOS users.
