The C_Artist application will be developed using the C language (C99 standards) and will be able to compile without warnings and link and run in the Swinburne computer laboratories using a Code::Blocks EDU-Portable WinBGIm project (without a console).
Finding all shapes of a specific type in order to draw them (part of the Drawing shapes functionality) will be implemented by extending the Linked List ADT to include lst_findFirst() and lst_findNext() operations to the ADT. The combination of these operations will enable iterating through the list and finding all the data corresponding to specific criteria.
The C_Artist application will be modular, using modules based on abstract data structures (ADT) representing a Shape and a Linked List.
