GameState

This module provides a game state that is a snapshot of the game at a given time. At each turn, the game creates a new instance of this class. It gives an overview of scores, locations, available cheese, who is currently crossing mud, etc. It also provides a few useful functions to determine who is currently leading, etc. This game state is then provided to players so that they can make decisions based on the current state of the game.
