Java Kernel for Jupyter Notebooks.
[Install Java kernel readme}(https://github.com/SpencerPark/IJava). Java will require an independent kernel in Jupyter Notebooks. The instruction performed by the Teacher follows, but look to readme if you have troubles.

Hacks
To start the year, I want you to consider a simple Java console game or improve on the organization and presentation of the games listed.
- Make RPS, Tic-Tack-Toe, and Higher Lower into different cells and objects. Document each cell in Jupyter Notebooks.
- Simplify logic, particularly T-T-T. What could you do to make this more simple? Java has HashMap (like Python Dictionary), Arrays (fixed size), ArraLists (Dynamic Size).
- Run the menu using recursion versus while loop. Try to color differently.
- Look over 10 units for College Board AP Computer Science A. In your reorganized code blocks and comments identify the Units of Code Used.
- Answer why you think this reorganization and AP indetification is important?
