@editorialbot reject

👋 @umutcanaltin - After review with our larger editorial board, we have decided to reject this submission on the grounds that it does not meet our requirements for substantial scholarly effort. This was due to the lower lines of code count and lack of documentation to test the engine and communicate how to extend the work.

Thank you for submitting to JOSS.
