+# FlatCell- Grid #
+
+The `game world` of **FlatCell** is a 2D canvas that geometric objects are drawn on. To outline this- we have a 2D grid.
+
+The idea is to have the following layers of reality-
+
+* 2D - flat grid
+* 3D - grid is projected onto rolling surfaces, and the player is now a sphere.
+* n+D - grid is projected onto a sheet that morphs depending on the objects mass, etc. The player is an orbiting body or somethin.
+
+## 2D ##
+
+The `grid` acts kinda like graph paper. The length of the squares, I'll call it `unit length` should scale to the `evolution
+stage` / `player level`. As the player gets bigger the grid should get bigger as well. Smaller enemies should still display
+properly as being smaller than the player as reference.
+
+Each cell in the grid will have it's own color component, and color component's from neibhboring cells can be added together to influence
+the color of the current cell.
+
+For example,
+
+The cell is blue but adjacent cells are green. Then green will "bleed into" the blue, looking kinda like a water painting. If this is too
+compled for the time frame a single color is fine.
+
+## Collision ##
+
+Each edge of the grid should support collision detection. What happens to each side is up to the Game Feel person.
+
+##### Scope 1 ######
+
+* The edges change opacity, fade in/out, change color, disappear, etc. This will change based on Game Feel but setting up the framework
+is the objective. 
+* The cells change color instantaniously based on the player's color.
+
+##### Scope 2 ######
+
+* The cell's color changes over time based off it's old color and the player's color.
+
+##### Scope 3 ######
+
+* The cell's color is influences by neighboring cells.
