Need to tidy things up. Differ between 'short' log and full log. Make HttpGetter work for either.

"short" log has the entire board state and most recent selection/move.
"full" log has the original board state and all moves up to the current point.

I started the "short" log so I could make it easy to watch games played on the server, but I think it might be useful
for testing now. But I need to work on it first.

Since short log prints the board state rather than all moves, agents don't know what is going on when short log is read back.

So wrote hacky script to save unicode characters to png files, then use png files in frozen versions.

cx_freeze in linux worked amazingly well.

For windows... I installed python and cx_freeze in wine... this was probably a mistake,

        - Difficulties because there are circular dependencies with the graphics / game stuff
        - eg: HumanPlayer needs to know about GraphicsThread to get its move
                and GraphicsThread needs to know about HumanPlayer to draw stuff and give it a move

4. Ended up writing a bash script to combine multiple python files into single qchess.py file.
        - It was easier than working out how __init__.py and __main__.py work / do not work
        - "from . import *" doesn't work and apparently is "bad practice" or something
        - Bash scripts are the best practice
        - It will probably backfire horribly. Hence, git

TODO:
        - Either borrow sigma from [DJA] again, or setup a new progcomp server at UCC
- Make website for results / information
- Depending upon how adventurous I feel it might be django
- Or a .html file created by a bash script
- Make judging / scoring system
- Need to implement move timeouts for AI players (remember to use select this time)
- Organise some sort of event for people to come to
- Should probably talk to #committee at some point
- Get people interested? Bribe them? Threaten them with account locking if they don't enter?
- If I get 4 entrants it will be a doubling in entries since 2010!
