Round Sequence - Worker Placement Round

[bhazzard]

Starting with the current leader, and progressing to the left, each player in turn may place any number of workers into 1 worker space on the board, as long as it is a valid placement. This will repeat until no player has any workers remaining to place.

Basic worker placement is done... currently there are no checks for valid placements, however. The big remaining issues are:

• There is no cap on placement. For example, the forest only allows 7 workers total, but you can place however many you want up to the number of workers owned by the player.
• There are no restrictions to how many players can place something in a workspace. For example, if there were three players, all three could place workers in the forest, but only two should be able to.
• The special hut does not enforce a minimum of 2 workers

I think i covered all of those rules, as well as a few others. There are some obvious looping issues that i left until later.

Oh, and I just noticed that I ruined the formatting on a large number of files (tabs, tabs, TABS!!!). Ill fix that tomorrow too. Too tired tonight.

If you there are too many workers in an area, or you have already placed in an area, and then try to place there again, you get caught in an endless loop:

• Player X, how many workers?
• You've already placed in the Claypit!

Of course, you can break out of this loop by typing "0".

I reworked the placement system to address issue #11, and I think it addresses @bhazzard's comment:

• "special" workspaces are just automatically placed (if the placement is valid)
• if a placement is invalid, it is just ignored (but it is still your turn). i figure down the road we can use the canPlace method to give more feedback in the UI about what a valid placement is

At this point, I'm going to call placement "good" and we can handle other issues (like #8) separately
