An interactive scheduler for UMD students.

Jupiter is a system built to make scheduling easier for students at the University of Maryland - College Park. It is meant to improve upon the existing scheduler the university provides called "Venus." Jupiter uses the umd.io API to get all of its course information.

Clone the repository and then change directory to jupiter/src. Run the command below to begin the web service.

python3 jupiter.py

Then navigate to 127.0.0.1:5000 to access the system.

Jupiter uses case-insentive substring matching for all text inputs. For example if you want to take CMSC132 with Larry Herman, you can enter larry, Herman, or LArrY HerMan and they will all match to Herman's sections of CMSC132. If you enter an input that cannot match to a substring, for example larry_herman, then the sections will not be matched.

Similarly, the best way to match a specific section is to enter the full four digit section number. For example if you want to take CMSC132-0101, you can enter cmsc131-0101 or just 0101. Note that entering just 101 could potentially match a section that has a section number starting with 101. This is why it's usually best to use all four digits.

Jupiter will process all include filter options first. After that, Jupiter will take all of the remaining sections and process them with all don't include filter options. In the event that there are no sections remaining after the include phase, the don't include phase will be carried out on all the sections of that class.

Additionally, all class options will be processed before time restrictions.
