As with any large project, it is best to begin the task by breaking down your goal into smaller problems.  You should continue breaking down each problem into a smaller one until you are able to solve each problem individually.  To help get you started, work with the members of your group to break down this project into smaller solvable problems.  As we are trying to get the game to play Bear, Hunter, Princess against us, you should try to separate this goal into at least 3 separate problems to solve.

Keep in mind that there isn’t only one way to break down this project into smaller solvable problems.  If your group has different ideas, jot down the two different approaches you might consider using to tackle this project.

Once you have completed this task, compare your methods with the methods from 2 other groups.  How do your problems differ?  In which ways are they similar?  Do the different groups’ methods appear simple to implement?

Post your thoughts in the discussion forum and then move on to Step 2 to view one method that can be used to code the Bear, Hunter, Princess game.
