Time table generator
So I got annoyed by how much of a pain in the ass it is to make a mock timetable in excel or some other spreadsheet program. In response to this, I decided to make a web program that will do it for you. You select courses (labs, tutorials, cores. etc) as you normally would on SOLAR, and your timetable is generated for you with conflict checking and everything. I tried to make it look similar to the one SOLAR generates in early August.

I tried to make it as easy as possible to modify on the fly so you can experiment with stick in different cores, labs, tutorials. etc.

CLICK HERE TO ACCESS THE TIMETABLE GENERATOR

Let me know if there are any bugs, and I'll try and fix them. If anyone wants to try and make a nicer looking UI with CSS, or just wanna screw around with the JavaScript - feel free.

This is amazing. Thanks so much, and maybe email someone from UTS to see if they could implement this.
