Programmer's Comments

This time I reprogrammed the applet to usealpha-beta pruning, which improved the performance.

I also put an option to choose the computer's level. If you choose "Hard", Computer is supposed to predict more steps. However, Computer doesn't seems to be so strong even in "Hard" level.  Maybe evaluation function needs to be improved...
