  5. The Data • Program will have data bank of scenarios • In browser animation for rune pattern • Layout similar to book, question as table header • Text columns with interpretations next to corresponding pattern

  6. The Code • Will be written in Java or JavaScript • Handle mixed data of text and images • Be able to create animations • HTML/Web app capabilities
