make

Start demos

1 player game with 4 snakes

make demo1
2 players game with 4 snakes

make demo2

Start a game manually

- Without any arguments you will have a game with 4 snakes which 3 of them are bots
- You can add command line arguments
  - for a game with 3 snakes and 1 bot
  cargo run 3 1
- The game won't start until enough "human" players join
