V1 Release

[Kasra-G]

Need to collect ideas into one spot for V1 release, open to suggestions. The release will be a breaking change, so existing setups will not auto-update. Additionally I'll take feedback on the lua code, as I am more experienced with traditional OO languages

I want the general look and feel of the UI to remain the same.

Since I'm basically rewriting the whole project, this is a good time to consider a variety of changes.
This is going to take a while to plan and do.

Planned changes so far (subject to change):

Basic requirements

Compatibility

• CC:Tweaked 1.12+
• Extreme Reactors 1.12+
• Bigger Reactors 1.12+

Updating

• Automatically check for updates via Github REST API (Move away from pastebin)
• Opt-in automatic updates
• One-click update if not opted-in to automatic updates
• Branch selection via editing config file

Installation

• Minimum possible steps for user to install, ideally just a pastebin run command with no user intervention

Core Requirements

Codebase

• not everything in one file...

UI

• Largely the same UI

Functionality

• Multiple Monitors support
  • Monitors should function completely independently from one another, and their state should be persisted
• Multiple external power bank support
  • Power buffer graph will show total power bank RF
• PID controller for reactor

Settings

• Program settings
• Reactor settings

Stretch Requirements

These would be nice but are non-essential

• Multiple reactor support
• Color settings

Won't Do

• Wireless mode support
• Turbines.
