Add power-ups

Power-Ups (updated)

A power-up gives a player a special ability.

Name	Icon	Ability	Duration
Roll Again	Dice	Roll the dice again without originally rolling doubles.	One-off
Double Dice	Dice with a 2x on top	Dice values are doubled (e.g., 3 and 4 are rolled but they count as 6 and 8).	One-off
Capture Nearest	Marbles colliding	Capture the nearest opponent.	One-off
Home Run	Baseball bat + baseball	One marble to go directly to the farthest open position in the home row.	One-off
Evade Capture	Marble with a shield	Opponents' marbles that land on your marbles push your marbles to the next non-center tile. If your evasion lands you on another opponent then you capture that opponent. If one of your own marbles is in the way then it jumps over.	3 turns
Self Jump	Marble jumping over another	Jump your own marbles.	3 turns

Filling up your power bar

Every marble move earns power bar points. A full trip around the board earns a power up - worth 10 points. That means every space earns 10 / 48 (~0.2083) points. Additionally, the center space and all HOME spaces earn double points and captures earn the captor 3 points and deduct 3 points from the captive.

Players can acquire a maximum of 3 power-ups by filling up their power bar.

I've got an initial idea for how to implement power-ups in this commit.

New idea for when power-ups are awarded:

Each player has a "power bar" which increases and decreases based on the following events:	Event	Power Bar Points
Player marble moves into a new quadrant	+ 1
Player marble moves onto a new home space	+ 1
Player captures opponent marble	+ 5
Player lands on the center space	+ 5
Player has 3 consecutive empty dice rolls	+ 5
Player marble is captured by opponent	- 7
Player uses a power-up	- 10

A power-up is awarded at every 10 points earned. A player can earn up-to 30 points total. A power-up can be revoked without using it if the points drop (from being captured) below a 10-point threshold (i.e. 10, 20, or 30).

I think this will be a more exciting way to get power-ups because you can see your progress towards them and it takes more effort than just landing on a special space.

Note: I'm sure the points-per-event will have to be tweaked a bit.

Little update to the power-bar idea (also updated in the first comment): Every space a marble moves earns points such that moving a marble from BASE to just in front of HOME (48 spaces) earns a power up (or 10 points). That means every space earns 10 / 48 (~0.2083) points. The center space and all HOME spaces earn double that. Captures earn the captor 3 points and deduct 3 points from the captive.

Also realized that since players have been able to skip their turn for a while now, the Deflect Capture power up doesn't make sense - if you have a move that lands on an opponent which is currently deflection captures, then you would just not make that move...

Oh my god it's actually starting to come together...
