Mancala

Mancala

My sister loves to play Mancala, so naturally I wrote a computer program to challenge her. Her and I both play a mean game of Mancala, but the program's AI can keep up.

It's also appears that after a certain skill level, the player who moves first is nearly guaranteed to win. Doesn't make for the most interesting of games.

The code (with sparse usage and installation instructions) can be found in the tar ball at the end of this post or on my GitHub account.
