+# calculating frame scores:
+  # 1: iterate through @frames, pull the next 1 or 2 rolls as needed
+  # 2: Frame stores all frames/rolls as a class Var, each frame has access to the next 1 or 2 rolls
+  # 3: calculate it while building rolls into frames 
+
+# when do you move to a new frame?
+  # strike
+  # 2 rolls
+# when do you add current rolls to a past score?
+  # strike (next two rolls)
