# After "running" this module, to play a game type:
# play_mancala(None, 600, MyPlayer("Fred"), MyPlayer("Bob"))

# The above plays your player against itself, using the names
# Fred and Bob.  You could try having two different classes that
# use different strategies and play them against each other.
