🧑‍💻 How to Use

• Run the Python script

• Network Map Simulation

• Splash Screen (Wait for splash screen to finish)

• User Input
  Enter the number of computers: N
  Enter the originator's city name: OriginCity

• For Each Computer (1 to N):
  Enter Location (city name)
  Enter Connections (space-separated computer numbers)

• View Map
  All computers placed on the map according to their city names
  Lines connecting computers based on connections entered
  Animated messages flow from originator to all other computers following the connections

• Example Output (Illustrative)
  Originator: Computer 1 (OriginCity)
  Computers: 1 - OriginCity, 2 - CityA, 3 - CityB, 4 - CityC
  Connections:
  1 <-> 2
  1 <-> 4
  2 <-> 3
  Map:
  [OriginCity (1)] ---- [CityA (2)] ---- [CityB (3)]
  |
  |
  [CityC (4)]
  Messages:
  OriginCity → CityA: Sending message...
  CityA → CityB: Forwarding message...
  OriginCity → CityC: Sending message...
