Game of Nim Code

This document contains code for a game where two players take turns removing marbles from a pile until there are none left. It defines classes for the Player and Pile as well as a Game class that runs the game. The Player class can be either human or computer controlled. The computer player has either a smart or stupid strategy for choosing how many marbles to remove. The Game class initializes the pile, player types, and runs the turn-taking loop until a winner is determined.
