Project #2 Updates

(updates are listed in reverse chronological order)

(10/22) The BNF for <name-of-item> has been fixed to be consistent with the way the food items print for primary.output (which is the way it's described two items below, regarding sugar cookie).
(10/20) Tokenizer driver for P1 has been fixed.
(10/20) When printing item names in square brackets, you print one word at a time, separated by single blanks. This was mentioned in the DROP command, but applies to all command OUTPUTS (command echoes still print the food item in double quotes, as before) which refer to the item in brackets. Thus, if the input were "***Sugar****COOKIE***", then if it's printed in square brackets, it's printed as [Sugar COOKIE]. This is primarily to check if you are using the Tokenizer class.
(10/20) Note: you must still print information about the MOVE prior to printing out all the information for "winning" when all boxes are at the target squares.
(10/19) There's a correction in Game Clarifications. When all boxes reach target squares, you print "Exiting program" with a period after the word "program", not an exclamation point.
```
Exiting program.  Thanks for playing!
```
(10/17) Perhaps obvious, but boxes with no items on top, and on non-target squares should print "@" as in P1.
(10/17) BOX_INFO is clarified. Go to Project #2 Game Clarifications to read more about it.
(10/14) Specs for ItemArrayList::Iterator say that operator+= moves backward and operator-= moves forward. These descriptions should be reversed. operator+= should move the iterator forward, while operator-= should move it backwards. Now corrected in the ItemArrayList specs.
(10/13) Output for BOX_INFO and BOX_INFO_SORTED updated for the case when no items are on the box. See P2 main specs for details.
(10/13) TARGET_INFO now tells you in which order target squares should be printed. See P2 main specs for more detail.
(10/13) There was a BNF for pickup-nobox. That is no longer valid. A player may be adjacent to a square with a food item, but if it's not on a box, the player can't pick it up. See the P2 main specs in PICKUP for further details.
(10/13) Changed parameter name iter in ItemArrayList specs for operator-() to other to make it easier to understand the description. (You don't have to do this, if you don't want, since parameter names can be anything).
(10/13) Added const to ItemSortedList specs for contains().
(10/10) ALPHA version of project description posted. Input file format being worked on now.
(10/10) In the tutorial on templates, where it talks about "Converting .cpp" files, it says "BEFORE the ::" for two bulleted items. In the second one, it should say "AFTER" (this has been fixed).
(10/9) In specs, Task 4, you should sort ArrayList template objects. Also, you should create a SortedList<Item, ItemComparator> object, not a SortedList<Item>. (
(10/8) In Item specs, it used to say
Since the number of words in one is greater than two, and the two phrases match so far, then one is greater than two, so -1 is returned.
It should be 1, not -1. This is now fixed in the specs.
(10/7) In ItemArrayList specs (Task 2), the prototype for operator+= was incorrect, and is now fixed.
(10/7) Lots of files posted in the posting account. Also, added more readings to Task 3, and modifications to ItemSortedList in Task 2.
