Game Player - Step 1 - Representing the Game Board

I'd say we are just about finished Step 1 now which looking back at the first post for this project I said should "Grab an image of the game board." Well we've definitely done that and we've also separated the game board out from the rest of the image to make the rest of the processing easier and faster but there is still a few things to take care of before I can officially declare us on Step 2.

Although we can see the game board the computer still can't really see it. It's kind of like in the last post when we had worked out the purple areas but still had to do a little processing for the computer to be able to make sense of it. What we need to do is represent the game board in a way the computer can understand it and that is what this post, and the end of Step 1, is going to be all about.
