Assassins game generator

This is a program to generate target lists for a game of assassins. It attempts to find a circularly symmetrical game with the most desirable traits:

• Widest branching (people avoid getting multiple copies of the same target when possible)
• Longest distance to self (people must make lots of kills before getting a copy of themselves as a target
• Most resiliant to inactive players (if someone sits in their room, they won't "back up" the rest of the game from proceeding, and will likely lose targets)

The circular game design ensures that there is no "good" or "bad" place to start in the game - everyone is on equal footing.
