NOTEs:

- This file is note meant to be run, it's just a collection of functions that are used in the other files. It's just a way to keep the code clean and organized.

- Why do I use os.path.join and not the "/"? Because it's more portable, it works on every OS, while "/" works only on Linux and Mac. In windows you would have to change all the "/" with "\". With os.path.join you don't have to worry about it and, as always, f*** Microsoft.
