The first thing you might want to do is to have clear in your mind what 
"tit-for-tat" means, and also perhaps try to understand what the 
Prisoner's Dilemma is really talking about.  I found the Wikipedia 
article very helpful, and of course I found that with Google.

Random: you can use Math.random() to generate random numbers.

Tit-for-tat, once you understand it, is just very basic array list 
manipulation.  I'll let you think on that part.
