- Develop the basic AI for computer players. First stage is level 0
(evenly random between all choices) - already done in 0.4.0.11;

on a score, with different levels of "cleverness" to partly randomise
the choice); fourth is looking for indirect winning moves. The
scoring system has a static logic.
