Usage

Instructions are clear inside the program, one thing to note is that the program memorises your registration date and registration plan including CRNs and alternate PIN. You can simply enter your specifications and exit the program by clicking the "x" button or ctrl+c. You will be able to recover your records next time the program is run. To secure more sleep, you can simply leave your laptop on over night, make sure it doesn't go to sleep, and the program will execute at 7:00am sharp.

Known Limitations

Does not handle exceptions that happen during the part where emulated browser opens the registration page
Only checks the format of term_string, but does not check validity
Source code all in one file, will change soon. Sorry to other contributor (if any) ╮(╯▽╰)╭

Goals

Graphical Interface
Multithreading, enable separation of class, allow users to enter a group of CRNs that are for one class, and try them together on one thread
