Final Project

-------------------------------Extra Credit--------------------------------
Undo/Redo-
- our undo and redo commands work within only the same player's move

Hard AI-
- this AI takes into account the player to their left's stock pile
- depending on the difference between its and the left player's stock
  pile sizes, it will choose different strategies depending on how
  aggressive it needs to play
- the different levels of aggression dictates if the primary goal is to
  block their opponent or get rid of stock pile cards
- the strategies were developed by playing several Skip-Bo games with large
  number of players and seeing what went through each player's mind with
  each of their moves
- we tested the AI strategies in real life by having one player strictly
  play by the AI rules and he won consistently

To Compile:
- enter command "make"

To Test:
- enter command "make test"
- extraneous output goes to mainTestOutput.txt

To Clean:
- enter command "make clean"

To Play:
- enter command "./SkipBo" (or "make play" to compile and play at once)
- starting new game:
  - enter difficulty level
  - enter number of players (including both humans and computers)
  - enter number of human players
  - enter size of initial stock pile
  - enter names for each human player

  - the number underneath each card slot represent the slot's unique index, the build piles in the center are the same (but with A-D)
  - to move, enter the index for the card you would like to move
             then enter the index for the card slot you would like to move to
  - press 'e' to exit
  - press 's' to save
  - press 'u' to undo a move
  - press 'r' to redo a move
  - only easy AI turns are printed to add extra challenge to hard AI
- loading game:
  - select load game and then play as usual
- help
  - show the rules of the game
