This is my first python project ever so there's probably a lot of code in here that doesn't even come close to being pythonic and some design choices that may seem very strange but they seemed logical to me at the time. So no guarantees on this whatsoever, use at your own risk. If this works for you, great, enjoy! If not, send me a message and I'll try to fix the issue.
