Before starting the game, you can adjust the below settings within the code (all in Main.java, starting on line 77)

• blackPlayerHuman - Whether the black player is a human or a bot
• allottedTime - the number of seconds the bot has to move

• Use cmd+z / left arrow / a / j to undo a move
• Use cmd+y / cmd+shift+z / right arrow / d / l to redo a move
