+### Player
+
+- This is a two Player game (one human and one computer)
+- Each Player has a Barracks (see below)
+- Each Player starts with 10 hit points
+
+### Barracks
+
+- A Barracks can generate a Peon (see below)
+- A Barracks keeps a list of its generated peons
+
+### Peon
+
+- A Peon has a name
+- A Peon has a job, one of the following:
+    - nothing (this is the initial value upon creating a peon)
+    - repair
+    - attack
+
+---
+
+## Flow of game:
+
+1. At the start of player's turn, ask what the user wants to do (one of the following)
+    - Create a peon
+        1. If chosen, ask what the peon's name should be
+        1. Have the player's barracks generate a peon with the correct name
+    - Select a peon
+        1. If chosen, ask which peon they want to select
+        1. Once a peon is chosen, ask what action the peon should perform
+            - attack
+                - If chosen, set the peon's job to attack
+            - repair
+                - If chosen, set the peon's job to repair
+1. Once this is complete, loop through the peons in the player's barracks
+    - If a peon's job is to repair, increase the user's hit points by one
+    - If a peon's job is to attack, decrease the computer's hit points by one
+1. Once this is complete, start the computer's turn
+    - Choose a random number from 0-2
+    - 0: computer does nothing
+    - 1: computer repairs itself
+        - increase computer hit points by one
+    - 2: computer attacks player
+        - decrease player hit points by one
+1. Evaluate the state of the game:
+    - If the computer has 0 or fewer hit points, you win
+    - If you have 0 or fewer hit points, the computer wins
+    - If you both have 0 or fewer hit points, it's a tie
+    - If you both have more than 0 hit points, start player's turn over again (step 1)
+

+
+1. Make it so that the computer doesn't randomly attack/repair/do nothing itself.  Instead, it will act like a player and either create a peon or, if a peon already exists, select a random peon and tell it to either attack or repair
+1. Make the 2nd player optionally be either the computer (random decisions) or another human
+1. Repairs increase hit points a random number between 0-3
+1. Attacks decrease hit points a random number between 0-3

+1. You are starting a landscaping business, but all you have are your teeth.

+## Hungry for more?
+
+1. Add the ability to reset the game at any point so that you can play again
+1. Make it so that a user can have multiple tools, and money earned each day is increased appropriately (e.g. 2 scissors, and an old-timey push lawnmower means you earn $60/day )
+1. Once you've implemented multiple tools, make it so you can sell tools for half price
