Potluck Prototype

This is an MVP (minimum viable product) for running Math Trades. The hope is that it can facilitate a math trade for things other than boardgames, which was the intention of the original TradeMaximizer.

Innovation

To create the wantlists instead of using a grid like the OLWLG and Abecorn, or setting individual values, instead we simply sort a list. This means that the process of evaluating trades for the user decreases from O(n^2) to O(n) complexity.
