Ataxx Part 1

0. Learn Ataxx:

• Read about the basic game at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ataxx
• Watch a video of Ataxx game play.  (We won't be modeling blocked grid cells.)
• Play an AI with Ataxx via Ludii, or as clone "Blobs" within the free demo version of Zillions of Games for Windows.  If you find good implementations for other platforms, please let me know. 
• One can always play Ataxx on a checkerboard (with the last row/column blocked) using stacked pairs of red and blue Poker chips (or Othello/Reversi pieces if available).

1. Implement AtaxxState: Implement a class AtaxxState.java according to this specification.

2. Test AtaxxState: Test your class using the provided GUI.  Usage: "java Ataxx".  Single-click onto an adjacent grid cell to grow into it.  Click and drag a piece to indicate a jump move.  Note that this will generate text input that will be useful for testing your text-based AtaxxGame.java.

3. Implement AtaxxGame: Implement a class AtaxxGame.java according to this specification.  Test inputs with output transcripts (including input) are provided.  Note that this text-based game implementation will largely rely on the methods you have implemented in AtaxxState.java.  No printing should occur in AtaxxState.java.  There should be a strict separation of game model (the state) and the interface (text or GUI).
