 ### Example: The Billionaire Game
 As an example of how you might use the PCF v2.0 APIs, we have included an example implementation of the classic [Billionaire](example/billionaire_problem/BillionaireProblemGame.h) game.  You can run the game in two terminals representing two players.  Each player will randomly return an integer from 0 to 1000000000 to represent the amount of money they have.  The game will compare the two integers and determine who is richer.
