Functions

func ScoreGame

func ScoreGame(game string) int

ScoreGame calculates the final score of a bowling game. The game is passed in as a string of frames each separated by a '-' (without quotation marks). Strikes are represented with an 'X', spares are represented with a '/', and an open frame is two digits representing the number of pins knocked down by the two throws in that frame.

This function assumes that the game string passed in is a valid game.
