This is the main file for the program. The three games
are accessed through here. Also this file controls access
to the save files that can be generated by the game.

Gives the user menu driven options for saving and restoring, and
starting new games.
printStartMenu() Prints an intial menu of options
printMainMenu() Prints the general menu
makeSaveFile() Method for creating a save file

Methods
roulette() Main driver for this game. Uses a finite state machine
to determine if the game is in the betting stage, spinning stage or
payout stage. This method also accesses others for displaying
helpful text.
spin() Returns the winning number
takeAction() processes user input, passes it to procBet if we are
in the betting state.
procBet() works with procBet2() to process bets, also has
some text output related to the game.
procBet2() Determines total bet amount, checks if it is more than the
player has. Cuts up the bet string and determines if each individual bet is valid with
help from isNum() and looksLike(). Then it determines which bet(s) win by accessing
the booleans: isTrdCol(), isFstCol(), isEven(), isRed(), and isOneTo18().
isNum() Boolean to check if input is a number. Used for bets and bet amounts.
looksLike() Makes sure bet string is properly formatted(bet:amount, - example: odd:50,)
These booleans determine winning numbers:
isTrdCol() Boolean, is number in third column? Numbers in the third column are
evenly divisible by 3.
isFstCol() Boolean, is number in first column? Numbers in the first column are
evenly divisible by 3 after 1 has been subtracted. If it's not in col 1 or 3, it's in
column 2.
isEven() Boolean, is number even? If it's not even it's odd.
isRed() Boolean, is number red? Done by checking an array of "red" values. Numbers
that are not in this array are "black."
isOneTo18() Boolean, is number 1 to 18? If it's not 1 to 18 it's 19 to 36.
