 ==Capturing the Prey==
-It takes four Predators to capture one Prey.  They must position themselves roughly to the North, South, East and West of the Prey. There is a built-in fudge factor for the boxing in of the Prey, so the Predators do not have to be ''exactly'' NSEW of the Prey.
+It takes four Predators to capture one Prey.  They must position themselves roughly to the North, South, East and West of the Prey, in close proximity. There is a built-in fudge factor for the boxing in of the Prey, so the Predators do not have to be ''exactly'' NSEW of the Prey.
 Once the Predators have surrounded the Prey, it is considered captured, and it will disappear, and the camera sensors will no longer detect it. Each Predator will also receive a message that a Prey has been captured (with a location). After this message is received, the Predators should move on to find the next Prey.

 You do not need to complete anything extra to be eligible to receive extra credit. You should instead work to make your implementation as fast and efficient as possible.
