Compile
------------------------

Assumes JUnit 3.8.1 junit.jar is in current directory. Otherwise, change
classpath argument to reflect correct location of junit.jar, or include as
environment variable for IDE. Code was compiled using Java 5.0.

     javac -cp .;junit.jar mancala/*.java

------------------------
Code Testing
------------------------
MancalaBoardTest tested manipulating the board via adding stones and emptying
bins.  Manual testing was done to check networked game conditions.

------------------------
Techincal Interests
------------------------
The MancalaBoard class contains a private data member, frame, which is
the gui. MancalaBoard also stores the bin and mancala stone counts.
Separate classes were used to construct the more complex buttons and
dialogs. MancalaConnectionManager is the main class and is used to invoke the
application. MancalaGame controls the flow of the game. Sockets are used for
network communication. Many helper classes are also used to manage the gui and
network details. A game must be quit before a new one may be started. The
SwingWorker class was downloaded from Sun's Java website.
