   * You have to implement the methods "init" and "nextAction". "init" will be called once at the start and should be used to initialize the agent. You will get the information, which role your agent is playing (white or red) and how much time the agent has for computing each move. "nextAction" gets the previous move as input and has to return the next action the agent is supposed to execute within the given time limit. "nextAction" is called for every step of the game. If it is not your players turn return "NOOP".
   * **Make sure your agent is able to play both roles (white and red)!**
-  * You can make sure to be on time by regularly checking whether there is time left during the search process and stopping the search just before you run out of time.

 ===== Handing In =====
-Please hand in a zip file containing:
+Please hand in:
   * a short description of your heuristic
   * the results of the experiments and which conclusions you draw from them
   * the source code and an executable jar file for your agent
-To create the zip file you just edit the "student" property in the build.xml and call the "zip" target using ant (execute "ant zip" in the directory containing the build.xml).

+The deadline is Friday, 01.03.2013 for source code and executable player and Monday, 04.03.2013 for the report. We will have a tournament between your agents in the lab on Thursday, 07.03.2013. Extra points for the top players!

 As with the first programming assignment, you can still hand in after the deadline (by email), but your grade will be lowered by 0.5 for each day your submission is late. Also, you can't get the extra points for being good in the tournament.
