For the past week I've been working on Windows-based assignment and 
haven't switched
of since. I didn't think it would be such a big deal.
I have uploaded a .odt version of the application, based on your

I removed it for know, if i find a good external service API for 
sentimental analysis
until the application deadline i will include it in the proposal again,

(for serialization ) and then loaded back into the game (serialization)
This is the concept i was aiming at:

but most probably a Portable Game Notation .
