At this point we had completely restarted the project from scratch as we were running into countless errors with the Tuxemon source code, it would not compile and some of the libraries used to write Tuxemon had been deprecated; Tuxemon as a project had been deprecated and they were very little resources that could be salvaged online to help us complete this project. We had completely switched environments, we went from GitLab to GitHub and from Python to Java, the version we currently have is a complete overhaul of what we previously had.
