\section*{2-page proposal}

\begin{itemize}
\item
is this a player, solver, visualizer, tutor, 
research exploration, or something else?
why is it of interest to you?
how is it relevant to CGT?
why is it interesting to others?
what do you hope to accomplish?
what problems will you solve, what programs will you implement?
how will you measure success?
what computational aspect is there?
what mathematical aspect is there? 
how you will break it into subgoals (like Polya would)?
\item submission instructions
\begin{itemize}
\item use this latex template:
