   * 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.

 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.
