#REFLECTION

#  I feel that since I'm barely startting to learn the principal
# of object-oriented programming the actual programming part of 
# it is a little harder than what I'm used to. I think the advantages 
#of this method are that the conceptcs are actually easier to understand
# ,they are just a little harder to implement. I think another advantage 
# is that games like this one make sense doing it this way because you can
# just create a different grid and not have to change anything else to play
# a new game.
