Falcon

Designed and developed by Luqman

Website

Falcon is a simple bank management system backend written in C++. I am also working on Moose which is a more advanced bank management system backend project which I wrote in Rust - but is not planned for High Seas 2024/2025.

This is my first project in C++.

Warning

This project is not memory safe. It is something I will implement in the near future.

Features

• Create, manage, and view accounts.
• Perform transactions between accounts.
• Detailed records of all transactions.

How to run

For Linux users, a pre-compiled executable is available. Simply follow the instructions below:

1. Go to the releases and download the latest version.
2. Run the executable file (./falcon).

Compile it yourself

Use the following steps to compile the project yourself, and modify according to your platform:

Note

The compile.bash script only works for Unix-based systems (Linux, MacOS).

Compilation may take a while. On my i7-10750H, 16GB laptop:

• ~12s using the package.
• ~28s if using crow_all.h.

1. Clone the repository.
2. Go to Crow releases, download the installer - or crow_all.h and move the file to the root directory (you will need to modify some code to use the header file instead of the package).
3. Ensure you have g++ andcpprest-devel installed (Linux).
4. Run bash compile.bash - this will compile the project and run the executable.
