So, you want to run Chrome headless.

Update May 2017

Eric Bidelman has documented some of the common workflows possible with headless Chrome over in https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2017/04/headless-chrome.

Update

If you're looking at this in 2016 and beyond, I strongly recommend investigating real headless Chrome: https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/lkgr/headless/README.md

Windows and Mac users might find using Justin Ribeiro's Docker setup useful here while full support for these platforms is being worked out.

def printNextMove(player, player1Mancala, player1Marbles, player2Mancala, player2Marbles)
if player == 1
mymarbles = player1Marbles
opmarbles = player2Marbles
else
mymarbles = player2Marbles
opmarbles = player1Marbles
end
