Add symlinks for run script in the generic project folder

Expected Behavior

Have a single run file in the build folder that can be used for all starts.

Current Behavior

Run script needs to be copied to the generic project folder, and paths need to be altered. This can lead to multiple, different run scripts that will need to be reviewed by users each time to identify the pwd and its relation to the binary.

Possible Solution

  1. Have a PROJ_ROOT variable at the root of the project, and symlink the run script from the build folder into the generic project folder. Set paths in the run script using PROJ_ROOT.
  2. Have the output (DOTFILE.dot, ag.svg, states.txt, states.json) be stored in the pwd, not the build directory. DOT and svg should be there already, but the state files are saved to the build directory.

After further discussion with Kayden Kehe, it was decided that symlinking may make things more complicated for new users. For the time being, it is planned to have a separate run script in each project folder, but pass in a file path argument for where to store output files.
