Collaboration of M250 students

• Friends at the OU

GUIDELINES

For those interested in collaborating please take time to read these short guidelines

1. This may well be a case of the blind leading the blind, so please don't be afraid to speak up if you think we can do things better.
2. That said, let's try and keep to the orginal design style and colours, unless there is a real concensus that the original is shockingly bad.
3. Let's try and keep to a coding convention, indents 4 spaces, whitespace, comments if needed, etc. Take a look at the original files if you're not sure.
4. Check out the issues tab, these are tasks that need doing. I'll keep them small so that they are achievable.
5. If your interested in the task, say so in the comments and I'll allocate them accordingly so that we aren't repeating work.
6. If you need to, create issues, we can then discuss and allocate them accordingly.
7. If you can't do an allocated task, ask for help or ask to be allocated another.
8. And finally, I setup this project up to help with understanding github and working with others. We are all learning, so let's help each other out where possible.

OBJECTIVE / DESIGN LAYOUT

1. Utilise original files to make a workable playable puzzle
2. Vertical menu that contains game functionality
3. Horizontal menu with numbers 1 through 9 that are used to populate board
4. Upon completion, look at and discuss a java app

NOTE Think we will need to work on design layout of the game initially , ie HTML/CSS before we can start working on the functionality, therefore I have only created these issues to deal.
