If you intend to use code from other people outside of the class, talk to us first, and remember that we'll grade you on the code you wrote, not on what other people wrote. If you do may make use of existing code and libraries, be sure to clearly indicate who wrote what parts of the code; using code without proper attribution is a form of plagiarism.
