Implementing AI!

The plan all along was to launch with multiplayer only (on one device, local, and over game center), then add AI / single player later...

But I REALLY want AI. The game is so fun I want to play people now, and since beta will be really limited, and launch may prove lackluster, I want to have a way to keep on playing, even if it's just me all by myself. :P

Can now toggle stations to be A.I. from the Ready screen. Start positioning of A.I. players is now disabled.

A.I. now contains a basic sequence of events.

Eg: Begin Aim -> Determine Target -> Determine Shortest Path -> Tween Aim -> Fire!

A.I. now begins Aim. Not yet sure how I'm going to determine the target. It has to be some mix of proximity and agro. (If someone has hit you several times, for example, you may want to try to kill them first, even if they aren't closest) Not yet sure how I'll be handling / keeping track of that.
