A program that simulates a farm.

Type gradle run in order to run main class Start.java

Early ideas planned for design patterns with this project

Animals will be created using the AbstractFactory design pattern in order to easily create similar objects such as animals.

In order to make it easy to add upgrades to a farm, I will use the decorator pattern to make this easy.

The observer pattern will work well for farmers being able to sent messages to observers (suppliers)

The design patterns that ended up being used in project

Animals are made using the factory pattern. There are 3 types of animals that can be made, pig, cow, and sheep. This pattern worked well becuase it gives the program much more flexibility if more animal types need to be added.

Mediator pattern worked well for informing components in the program of when a cycle changed

Using the decorator pattern really helped to easily and dynamically add different features to animals
