Save file

[tzqgav10]

Editing the save file can print invalid lists. Could pass the ID number and print it out instead of having ID_0001 as a string only. If there are any errors in the file format, can skip the line of data instead rather than to print it out.

Similarly for this, the input given contains a non-digit and the program crashes. An exception should be thrown to ignore the line of data if it is unable to be parsed.

Team's Response

We designed the saving of data to be simple and easy to understand. However, it did come with downsides such as the file manipulation issues mentioned. Given more time in future versions, we will be able to create a more secure data saving feature that is better protected from file manipulation.

In addition, while the issue can also be resolved by encrypting the data folder to be only be accessible by business insiders/us, this is quite out of the scope of this course, as this is a software engineering course, not a information/data security course.
