+
+# Opening this project in Eclipse

+3. Navigate to the repository on your hard drive (folder should be called 2XB3).
+4. Click "Open" then "Finish"

+Now you should be able to view and edit code :)
+
+# Code standards
+* To keep our code somewhat "pretty" and to make it easier for us to 
+read each other's code try to remember to use the `Source` -> `Format` 
+(`Shift+Cmd/Ctrl+F`) option before committing.
+* Use comments for anything particularly tricky or confusing.
+
+# Respository guidelines / suggestions 
+* Commit often -- don't write a bunch of code then commit
+* Use descriptive commit messages
