Cody’s Status Report for 9/21

I began setting up the codebase for the project. This included creating the github repo and infrastructure for the main file. Additionally, I found a csv of valid Scrabble words and added the code necessary to parse this csv and store them in the internal hashmap to be used in validation. SImilarly, I created the map of letters to scores. I also began looking into the Python libraries necessary to take and process images (cv2) as well as letter recognition (pytesseract). Specifically, I expect functions like image_to_string, image_to_boxes, and image_to_data to be useful. Next week, I will begin figuring out how to implement these methods to achieve basic functionality for taking images and recognizing individual letters. However, most of my focus will likely be figuring out basic modularity of the CV controller and game state.
