 *  Like any tech project I did run into some trouble setting it up. Here's some of the resources I used. Hope they help.
 * 1) Download Eclipse - @http://www.eclipse.org/

 * 3) Download .jar, .java and .class from "Starter Files" here: @http://www.stanford.edu/class/cs106a/assignments.html unzip the file and extract it.
