 ## A Git, GitLab, and JUnit exercise
 
 This assignment is intended to give you a relatively small exercise to give you a little familiarisation working with Git, Gradle,
-JUnit, and JavaFX on a very small codebase - before you and your group do something much more exciting on the much larger
-class-wide project.
+JUnit, and some more recent Java language features on a very small codebase - 
+before you and your group do something much more exciting on the much larger class-wide project.
 
-The example code you have been given is a simple JavaFX "dots and boxes" game. It has a couple of known bugs in it
+The example code you have been given is a simple Java "dots and boxes" game. It has a couple of known bugs in it
 (already commented for you - the task is not really in finding the bugs). Please note: your task **is not simply to fix the bugs**. 
 Your task is a series of steps that show you can work with git, gitlab, gradle, and junit.

-##  Gradle start up script for UN*X
-##
+#
+#   Gradle start up script for POSIX generated by Gradle.
+#
+#   Important for running:
+#
+#   (1) You need a POSIX-compliant shell to run this script. If your /bin/sh is
+#       noncompliant, but you have some other compliant shell such as ksh or
+#       bash, then to run this script, type that shell name before the whole
+#       command line, like:
+#
+#           ksh Gradle
+#
+#       Busybox and similar reduced shells will NOT work, because this script
+#       requires all of these POSIX shell features:
+#         * functions;
+#         * expansions «$var», «${var}», «${var:-default}», «${var+SET}»,
+#           «${var#prefix}», «${var%suffix}», and «$( cmd )»;
+#         * compound commands having a testable exit status, especially «case»;
+#         * various built-in commands including «command», «set», and «ulimit».
+#
+#   Important for patching:
+#
+#   (2) This script targets any POSIX shell, so it avoids extensions provided
+#       by Bash, Ksh, etc; in particular arrays are avoided.
+#
+#       The "traditional" practice of packing multiple parameters into a
+#       space-separated string is a well documented source of bugs and security
+#       problems, so this is (mostly) avoided, by progressively accumulating
+#       options in "$@", and eventually passing that to Java.
+#
+#       Where the inherited environment variables (DEFAULT_JVM_OPTS, JAVA_OPTS,
+#       and GRADLE_OPTS) rely on word-splitting, this is performed explicitly;
+#       see the in-line comments for details.
+#
+#       There are tweaks for specific operating systems such as AIX, CygWin,
+#       Darwin, MinGW, and NonStop.
+#
+#   (3) This script is generated from the Groovy template
+#       https://github.com/gradle/gradle/blob/master/subprojects/plugins/src/main/resources/org/gradle/api/internal/plugins/unixStartScript.txt
+#       within the Gradle project.

-/**
- * This is a module file.
- *
- * Modules were introduced in Java 9, allowing modules to express dependencies on other modules and to publish their
- * public packages.
- *
- * Using modules makes things easier when working with JavaFX, because JavaFX is itself published as a module.
- *
- * Please note: "module" in Java is not quite the same as "dependency" in Gradle. They are similar concepts, but
- * "modules" is part of the Java language (but doesn't express how to find them on the internet) whereas
- * "dependencies" is part of the Gradle build system and expresses how to find them on the internet (but does not
- * specify the module imports to the Java compiler). We need both.
