Reconstruction Simulation in C++ 🏙️

A full object-oriented simulation of settlement reconstruction plans in SPLand, designed with memory safety and modular architecture using C++.

📚 Project Overview

This project simulates the reconstruction of various settlements (cities, villages, metropolises) through plans that build new facilities (schools, parks, factories) over time.
The simulation handles different building strategies (Balanced, Economy, Environment) and scores settlements according to their facilities.

Key highlights:

• Full application of the Rule of 5 for memory management.
• Global Backup and Restore functionality.
• Command-driven architecture (build, select, simulate, print, backup, restore).

🚀 Technologies Used

• C++14
• Object-Oriented Programming
• Dynamic Memory Management
• Design Patterns (Backup/Restore)
• Valgrind-tested memory safety

🛠️ How to Build and Run

1. Navigate to the project directory.
2. Build using the Makefile:

   make

3. Run the simulation by specifying a configuration file:

   ./simulation config1.json
