I added my code to the GitHub branch that was created.
I put the tileMap stuff all into a view called mapView.
Then I made a scrollview called sideMenuView that sits on the side of app unseen until the person is selected.
Added animation to when the person is selected the menu popped in and the mapView slid over.
Put three buttons onto the sideMenuView with functionality of a button.
They toggle their color.
SUCCESS!
