/**
 * This class holds all the necessary information to represent
 * the state of a game of networked TicTacToe.  It includes the 
 * method apply(hub,sender,message), which modifies the state to
 * reflect a message that was received from a player.  The protocol is
 * that two types of messages from client are understood.
 * One is that a TicTacToe client sends the String "newgame" as
 * a message when it wants to start a new game.  The other is that
 * when the user makes a mover into one of the squares on the board,
 * the client sends an array of two ints containing the row
 * and column where the user played.  Note that to keep things
 * simple, each time a game is started, this class decides at random 
 * which of the two players will play 'X' and which will play 'O'.  
 * X always makes the first move.
