Need some sort of front end for creating .xml files #6

The current process for creating an .xml for randoTracker is tedious at best, hair pulling on average and eye gouging at worst. Editing the .xml by hand in a text editor and then re-loading from the "choose game" button over and over and over needs to go the way of the dodo.

Thought on this: I've noticed that most of the layouts so far are, at least to some degree, symmetrical. Maybe the program mirror things us? Was messing with something like this a while back - it's rough but gives the idea: https://codepen.io/jsnkuhn/pen/PQJmLg?editors=1000

@gameboy9 I remembering you having mentioned something about this when you first started working on RandoTracker. Were you thinking this would be a part of randoTracker proper (as in something like a "create" tab in the tracker) or were you thinking something seperate?

I'm not sure how that would work off the top of my head. From my point of view, it would be quite an effort to program such a GUI though.
