Created the page with an example taken from our Monsters design. Note the important idea about Polymorphism that Wal discussed with me and Jason after class. Polymorphism is fundamental to OO and we should all make sure we understand it clearly if we don't already. --Elliot Fisher 02:19, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
