Added limits for size, an error message popup and a cursor #185

Open aaravtanti opened 9 months ago

aaravtanti commented 9 months ago

Changes

Added a cursor to the size box
Added a limit for the range on 1-1000 for the size box
Added an error message if user input exceeds 1000
Added functionality that does not allow the user to have less than 1 digit in the text box

Why (resolves #184)

Addressed the concern of the difficulty in typing a new size for the bars by implementing cursor functionality
Added functionality that does not allow the user to have less than 1 digit so that the program does not crash (as there will never be no input in the size box)

How

Added an error message using the pygame display function; set a timer for the error message to ensure that the viewer can quickly change their input
Added cursor definitions in the class and updated the draw function

Testing nil
