I am pleased with the score I received for Project 2, especially considering the average score was significantly lower. However, I do have some concerns regarding the feedback, particularly about the error output.

In the feedback, my program's output appears disordered, especially the colored error messages. However, this issue does not occur when I run the program on my computer.

Could you please provide details about the tool used to test the projects? It seems there might be compatibility issues with the ASCII escape sequences I used for coloring the error messages.

To be more detailed, this is what the error message looks like in the feedback file:

\033[33mWarning:

Actually, it means to be:

While I said I'll delay replying till next week, I just need to note that I ran the tests from within an instance of the Docker image, which implements the standard environment. That environment is based on plain text files.
