Description

Implement a dummy bot that allows the game to start.

- Communication
The bot sends instructions to engine.
The bot receives a gamestate object, in the form of a json string, from the engine.
> In MM27 we used stdin/out for communicating between bots and engine, making developing a little bit unintuitive.
> Resolution: use socketing or mmap.

- APIs
Simple functionalities, like distance calculators, or like `getTargetsInAttackRange`.

Optional:
1. Create a bot with some sort of simple logic.
2. Make the bot send keyboard input to engine (for testing)
