		* Estimated end: 2023/05/15 18:50
		* Real end: 2023/05/15 18:45
		* NOTE : We didn't manage to do it because there were too many errors, so we used maven.

2. Create the data model with an undirected graph:
	2.1 Get the number of columns and rows,
		* PROGRESS: DONE
		* Who: Robin
		* Start: 2023/05/15 18:30
		* Estimated end: 2023/05/15 18:50

	2.2 Create a graph with an adjacency matrix,
		* PROGRESS: DONE
		* Who: Robin
		* Start: 2023/05/15 18:30
		* Estimated end: 2023/05/15 18:50
		* Real end: 2023/05/19 15:50
		* NOTE: It's not finished yet because it couldn't get tested before 2023/05/18, and after testing it we noticed that it didn't worked properly (it doesn't find a path even when there is one)
	2.3 Be capable to manipulate the edges (create a new one; destroy one),
		* PROGRESS: DONE
		* Who: Robin
		* Start: 2023/05/15 18:30

		* Estimated end: 2023/05/16 14:30
		* Real end: 2023/05/16 15:30
		* Notes:    Most of the functions needed to be changed, since we don't work with int anymore but with Point.
					hashCode was forgotten in Point.java (we didn't override it), that's mostly why it took more time than expected

			* Estimated end : 2023/05/15 18:30
			* Real end : 2023/05/16 18:50

5. Add game sequence:
	5.1 Be able to move or to place a fence,
		* PROGRESS: DONE
		* Who: David
		* Start : 2023/05/15 16:30
		* Estimated end : 2023/05/15 19:00
		* Real end : 2023/05/15 20:30
		* Notes : Issues encountered: scanner.close() closed stdin, so we couldn't use it, even with another Scanner
				   We had to check each data we had to verify the possibility of each game. 
	5.2 Check if any of these actions is possible,
		5.2.1 Check if the player can place a fence
			5.2.1.1 Check if there is at least one fence remaining
				* PROGRESS: DONE
				* Who: David
				* Start : 2023/05/15 16:30
				* Estimated end : 2023/05/15 19:00
				* Real end : 2023/05/15 20:30
				Notes :
			5.2.1.2 Check if 2 fences are intersecting
				* PROGRESS: DONE
				* Who: Romain, Robin
				* Start : 2023/05/17 11:00
				* Estimated end : 2023/05/17 14:00
				* Real end : 2023/05/17 15:25
				* NOTE: was reopened on 2023/05/21 to fix it (borders in "X" shaped were allowed before)
						The main challenge here was to find a way to shorten the functions and make it less repetitive
			5.2.1.3 Find a path between to points,
				* PROGRESS: DONE
				* Who: Robin
				* Start: 2023/05/15 18:30
				* Estimated end: 2023/05/15 18:50
				* Real end: 2023/05/15 18:45
				* NOTE: was changed on 2023/05/26 because it didn't use a priority queue before, we had to search the minimum element everytime we wanted to expand a node. It's now fixed
			5.2.1.4 Add the new fence to the list and to the grid
				* PROGRESS: DONE
				* Who: Robin
				* Start: 2023/05/15 20:30
				* Estimated end: 2023/05/15 21:00
				* Real end: 2023/05/15 21:30
		5.2.2 Get a list of all the available cells the player can to move to (can the player jump?, is there a fence? ...)
			5.2.2.1 The player can jump above another one
				* PROGRESS: DONE
				* Who: Thibault
				* Start : 2023/05/15 18:45
				* Estimated end : 2023/05/15 19:30
				* Real end : 2023/05/15 20:00
				* Notes: function creation to avoid code repetition took me longer than expected.
				* Update: 2023/05/17, Bug fix after changing areConnected function
			5.2.2.2 If the player can jump above another one but there is a fence behind, he can go diagonally
				* PROGRESS: DONE
				* Who: Thibault
				* Start : 2023/05/16 18:30
				* Estimated end : 2023/05/16 18:45 
				* Real end : 2023/05/16 19:45
				* Notes : It took us longer than expected because we restructured the function to avoid code repetition
		5.2.3 Check if the move give by the player is in that list of available cells
			* PROGRESS: DONE
			* Who: Thibault
			* Start : 2023/05/16 15:00
			* Estimated end : 2023/05/16 15:10
			* Real end : 2023/05/16 15:05
			* Notes : No difficulties encountered
	5.3 Check if anybody wins,
		* PROGRESS: DONE
		* Who: Romain
		* Start : 2023/05/16 16:00
		* Estimated end : 2023/05/16 17:30
		* Real end : 2023/05/16 18:00
		* Notes : It took longer than excepted.
	5.4 Ask the player how many players there are and check the number (it must be equals to 2 or 4)
		* PROGRESS: DONE
		* Who: Romain
		* Start : 2023/05/16 16:45
		* Estimated end : 2023/05/16 16:50
		* Real end : 2023/05/16 16:49

		* Who: Robin
		* Start : 2023/05/23 17:50
		* Estimated end : 2023/05/23 18:05
		* Real end : 2023/05/23 18:15

6. Create a console interface to be able to test the game:
	6.1 Represent the cells of the grid in the console
		* PROGRESS: DONE
		* Who: Robin
		* Start : 2023/05/15 17:30
		* Estimated end : 2023/05/15 17:45
		* Real end : 2023/05/15 17:55
	6.2 Be able to see the player on the grid,
		* PROGRESS: DONE
		* Who: Robin
		* Start : 2023/05/15 17:55
		* Estimated end : 2023/05/15 18:05
		* Real end : 2023/05/15 18:05
	* Notes: The code had to be changed on 2023/05/16, since the areConnected function doesn't take the same type of parameters. It was also simplified.

7. Create a save:
	7.1 Let the player choose the location and the name of the save in the console (check if it already exists),
		* PROGRESS: DONE
		* Who: Yann
		* Start : 2023/05/16 18:35
		* Estimated end : 2023/05/16 18:45 
		* Real end : 2023/05/16 18:40
	7.2 Encode the game in a file to save it,
		* PROGRESS: DONE
		* Who: Yann
		* Start : 2023/05/16 20:00
		* Estimated end : 2023/05/16 20:30
		* Real end : 2023/05/18 23:00
		* Re-opened between 2023/05/24 and 2023/05/25 to update the type of backup file elements

8. Load a save:
	8.1 Let the player choose the file containing the save to be loaded in the console (check if the file exists)
		* PROGRESS: DONE
		* Who: Yann
		* Start : 2023/05/19 10:00
		* Estimated end : 2023/05/19 10:10
		* Real end : 2023/05/22 03:26
	8.2 Decode the file containing the save and load it, check if the format is valid,
		* PROGRESS: DONE
		* Who: Yann
		* Start : 2023/05/19 10:15
		* Estimated end : 2023/05/19 11:30
		* Real end : 2023/05/22 03:26
		* NOTE: Re-opened between 2023/05/23 and 2023/05/24 to check if the file is in the valid format

9. Create a user interface using JavaFX:
	9.0 Set up Maven to build the executable JAR that includes JavaFX
		* PROGRESS: DONE
		* Who: Robin
		* Start : 2023/05/16 23:00
		* Estimated end : 2023/05/16 23:15
		* Real end : 2023/05/17 23:59
		* NOTE : The delay here is because we tried to use VSCode and Ant instead of Eclipse, so we had to search for a way to link the libraries of JavaFX to our project
			And it got delayed even more because we didn't know how to create a standalone JAR with Ant, and so we used Maven
	9.1 Create a window for the application
		* PROGRESS: DONE
		* Who: David
		* Start : 2023/05/16 19:40
		* Estimated end : 2023/05/16 19:50
		* Real end :2023/05/16 20:00
		Note : No difficulties encountered
	9.2 Create a grid and add it to the window
		* PROGRESS: DONE
		* Who: Robin
		* Start : 2023/05/18 19:55
		* Estimated end : 2023/05/18 20:10
		* Real end : 2023/05/18 20:25
		* NOTE: It was hard here to find a good representation of the board with a GridPane, and finding the appropriate size for the cells and the borders.
			But using rows and columns constraints alternatively and converting board coordinates into out GridPane coordinates, and vice-versa, was sometimes quite tricky
	9.3 Add fences to the window (thick black borders) without breaking the alignment (the size of the grid must not change)
		* PROGRESS: DONE
		* Who: Robin
		* Start : 2023/05/18 16:00
		* Estimated end : 2023/05/18 18:00
		* Real end : 2023/05/18 17:40
		* NOTE: the main issue here was the coordinate system (x,y) because I mixed it with the usual (i,j) representation of array in code (row,column)

10. Add events and use CAP (Observers...) to link the "presentation" to the "abstraction" using "controllers"
	10.1 Add buttons (and events) used by the player to choose his next move (place fence or move)
		10.1.1 Create the buttons and add it to the window. The "Place fence" button must be disabled or hidden if the player can't place a fence.
			We can also just create one button "Place Fence" that becomes "Move" when pressed (it's probably better to do so)
			* PROGRESS: DONE
			* Who: Thibault
			* Start : 2023/05/18 12:00
			* Estimated end : 2023/05/18 13:30
			* Real end : 2023/05/18 15h05
			* Notes : This step took longer than expected because we had to link the interface to the progress of the game in the terminal
		10.1.2 Add events and controllers to switch player mode to "PLACE FENCE" or "MOVE" when a button is clicked,
			* PROGRESS: Done
			* Who: Thibault
			* Start : 2023/05/18 16h30
			* Estimated end : 2023/05/18 18h00
			* Real end : 2023/05/18 20h30
			* Notes : This step took more time because we linked the functions doing the expected actions to the button while managing 
			the update of the button at the end of each round
		
	10.2 Player movements ("MOVE" mode)
		10.1.1 Show the possible moves by changing the color of the corresponding cells (e.g greyed)
			* PROGRESS: Done
			* Who: David
			* Start : 2023/05/18 15:00
			* Estimated end : 2023/05/18 15:30
			* Real end :2023/05/18 16:00
			Note : We had trouble because we forgot that the set was no longer 9x9 in JavaFX. 
		10.1.2 Add an event that changes the content of the hovered cell (the color/image will be different whether it's a cell where the player can move or not)
			* PROGRESS: Done
			* Who: David
			* Start : 2023/05/18 16:00
			* Estimated end : 2023/05/18 16:10
			* Real end :2023/05/18 16:20
			Note : No trouble encountered
		10.1.3 Add a pawn for each player
			* PROGRESS: Done
			* Who: David
			* Start : 2023/05/20 18:30
			* Estimated end : 2023/05/20 19:00
			* Real end : 2023/05/20 20:00
			Note : Had to chose between to strategy : one stackPane containing multiple GridPane or for each case of the grid we add a stack pane. We chose the second option.
		10.1.4 Add an event to move the player when a cell is clicked (where he can go) (remove the previous pawn position on the grid)
			* PROGRESS: Done
			* Who: David
			* Start : 2023/05/18 16:30
			* Estimated end : 2023/05/18 16:50
			* Real end : 2023/05/18 17:00
			Note : difficulties with coordinates.
	10.3 Place fences ("PLACE FENCE" mode)
		10.1.1 Add an event that changes the borders of the hovered cell (the color/image will be different whether it's a border where the player can place a fence or not)
			* PROGRESS: DONE
			* Who: Robin
			* Start : 2023/05/18 20:30
			* Estimated end : 2023/05/18 21:00
			* Real end : 2023/05/18 23:20
			* NOTE: The event was set on the cell and not the border since it was easier this way.
					But if take into account the cells of the GridPane that are at the intersection of two borders while adding the events and converting the coordinates then it might be possible to add the event directly to the borders
		10.1.2 Add an event to place the fence when a border (where a fence can be added) is clicked
			* PROGRESS: DONE
			* Who: Robin
			* Start : 2023/05/20 13:00
			* Estimated end : 2023/05/20 16:30
			* Real end : 2023/05/20 16:35
			* NOTE: Here the main "challenge" was to keep track of the fences selected to change their color back to the default one. 
				And to not color them if a fence is already there (so if the color is black and not light gray)
	10.4 Add a fence counter
		* PROGRESS: DONE
		* Who: Thibaut
		* Start : 2023/05/20 16h40
		* Estimated end : 2023/05/20 17h20
		* Real end : 2023/05/20 17h07
		* Notes :  No difficulties encountered
	10.5 Add button for the save system
		10.3.1 Create a load button that opens a FileChooser
			* PROGRESS: Done
			* Who: David
			* Start : 2023/05/20 13:10
			* Estimated end : 2023/05/20 14:00
			* Real end :2023/05/20 13:30
			Note : know how to implement a datechooser
		10.3.2 Create a save button that opens a FileChooser
			* PROGRESS: Done
			* Who: David
			* Start : 2023/05/20 13:30
			* Estimated end : 2023/05/20 14:40
			* Real end : 2023/05/20 14:00
			Note : no difficulties

		* PROGRESS: DONE
		* Who: Robin
		* Start : 2023/05/20 17:45
		* Estimated end : 2023/05/20 18:15
		* Real end : 2023/05/20 18:30
	11.3 Load Game and save game buttons and their events (load and launch a game or save it)
		* PROGRESS: DONE
		* Who: Robin
		* Start : 2023/05/21 12:45
		* Estimated end : 2023/05/21 13:45
		* Real end : 2023/05/22 18:15
		* NOTE: Real end is later because tasks 8 was in progress
	11.4 Added the case of an already existing save file (overwrite) for the window mode
		* PROGRESS: DONE
		* Who: Robin
		* Start : 2023/05/21 17:00
		* Estimated end : 2023/05/23 17:30
		* Real end : 2023/05/23 17:35
