# This is the run game file of a 2D game in which the player controls a 'mitt' that moves in a
# circular path. A 'ball' appears in the center of the circle and moves in a random direction. Only one ball is on
# the screen at a time. The player must 'catch' the ball before it goes out side of the circle. Every time the ball
# is caught a point is given and the game speeds up. If the ball is missed the mitt returns to the bottom of the
# screen and a life is taken away. The player has 3 lives. If the player loses all of their lives they are given an
# option to play again. If they choose to do so the game resets and starts over from the beginning.
