Development

This is my first ever project in c++, so there are likely many bugs, anti-patterns, and memory leaks. If you are a seasoned c++ developer, be nice :)

If you do find any bugs, I would greatly appreciate you taking the time to submit an issue.

Also, feel free to submit a pull request for bugfixes and/or new features. Have a look at the todos.
