 * Project 3 -- Simple Card Game
 * SimulateGame.java
 * Main class for running the simple card game.
 * A simple card game with an option for two players.
 * The deck of cards contains 52 cards with 13 cards each in the 4 suits:
 * clubs, diamonds, hearts, spades.
 * Each player begins with 26 cards and one of the players starts the game
 * by putting their first card on the table. Players take turns by putting the
 * top card from their hand, until the current card placed on the table matches
 * the suit of the previous card on the table. If a match happens, the player
 * whose card matched gets all the cards currently on the table and adds them
 * at the end of the cards currently in his or her hand. Game continues until
 * one player gets all 52 cards, or for 10 rounds.
 * Construct the game using the following guidelines:
 * 1. Create a method to deal the deck of cards so that each player gets 26
 * random cards.
 * 2. Start the game by choosing either of the player randomly. 
 * 3. Show the cards on the table and in the hand of each player at each step
 * of the game.
 * 4. Continue the game for 10 rounds or until one player has all the cards, 
 * whichever happens first.
 * 5. Declare the winner (the player with all the cards, or with more cards 
 * after 10 rounds), or say its a tie (when both players have equal number
 * of cards after 10 rounds).
 * Must use at least one singly linked list, one 2D array, methods to separate
 * work (main method should not have more than 20 lines of code).
