Game Mechanics and Plot
    Uses majority of topics covered in AP CS A
    Players are a student making choices to further their CS AP A journey.
    Goal is to accrue as much knowledge in five categories, the four categories from the AP exam and lab work
    Choices include class (+random topic), study (+chosen topic), practice (answer question for big +all), lab work (+lab and small +all), and resting.
    Game ends when energy goes to 0 from a lack of rest or time runs out.
Game Features
    Usage of randomness ensures each play is unpredictable
    FileIO is used to store top 5 high scores and read a txt file with questions for the practice action
    Players resting during their birthday month get a full energy refill
    Students of CS AP A should be able to produce something better than by end of year
Intentional Missing Functionality
    Examples include input validation and exception catching
    Readers of the code are provided with comments asking and pointing out some areas for improvement
    Reader is invited to consider how they would add a chance of a random event each turn, like a fire drill, field trip, or guest speaker
Commenting Throughout
    Comments placed to help reader understand code
    Maximized usage of OOP principles in class design
