So that Programming Project..

Where to begin...

I've just taken my first serious look at the Programming Project and immediately have an overwhelming list of questions. Is there some sort of graph or plane I should be superimposing the maze to? What exactly is a cell? I understand that it contains a number for x and a number for y, so would this just be a point? Should everyone's maze turn about to look the same or are there several ways to complete this task?

I feel confident in my ability to utilize many of the functions we've been practicing in lecture like map, apply, structs, list manipulations etc. but am unprepared to design something as complex as the maze. So far, there hasn't been much top-down design that students have employed. I'm further concerned that I was told to begin the PP before the test next week as it will be a useful study tool. I've read over the project details a couple times now and don't have a clue where to start. I will be a regular fixture at the computer science help center this week!

In better news, American thanksgiving is coming up and I will be spending a short vacation weekend with family. After unsuccessful attempts at the project, I made a Turducken!!
