Thread: Concept and syntax in mancala

I've made the majority of the program , however, I've been avoiding the most crucial part of the program. Allowing the user to select the pocket they want to play is something i cant figure out how to do. In the module PlayersTurn I've been trying different things to allow the user enter the number of pocket they want to play and then executing their turn. I've been unsuccessful. I don't know where or how to start can someone help me please? thanks.
