Your lofty  goal is to implement it entirely for 2 players.

Important Note: This may end up taking more time than have and therefore you may not finish.  Therefore, build it in working chunks. You can get FULL marks for an unfinished project if you demonstrate all the following:

• A project that works for at least 4 dice.  
• It must fully implement the first 3 scoring rules (according to the wikipedia article).  The remaining scoring variations do not need to implemented for full marks.  
• Many methods including:

• Methods with different return types
• Parameter passing
  

Hint: Each player will need its own while loop.  Both players then get surrounded with a THIRD while loop that keeps going until someone hits 10000 points.
