Part 1: Character drawing

HITs are created to have turkers draw and submit an image of a character (A, B, 7, etc.). You can run this part by:

Set the MTURK_CMD_HOME environment variable to the command_line_tools directory of your local clone. Example: export MTURK_CMD_HOME=~/Documents/Development/amt/command_line_tools in ~/.bash_profile
Navigate to command_line_tools/bin
Add in your AWS credentials to mturk.properties, and ensure the link is set to sandbox, and not production
Navigate to command_line_tools/samples/best_image
modify best_image.input to include whatever characters you'd like to create HITs for. The example file creates a HIT for A, B, and C with the following format:
```
 LETTER  
 A  
 B  
 C  
```
modify best_image.properties and best_image.question as desired
run the run.sh shell script

Also,

getresults.sh will download a .csv file with current results of the HITs
approveAndDeleteResults.sh will approve all HITs and delete them from your account

Part 2: Voting for the best character

Turkers are asked to pick the best drawn character out of the results collected from Part 1. Detailed description of this process and how to use it is provided in the README of boto_voting
