player_2.h

/**
*   This code is a function that handles the actions of player 2 in a game. It allows player 2 to customize their
*   race and class, and then engage in a battle against player 1. The function uses pipes to communicate with
*   player 1 and exchange information about the game. The function repeatedly loops through defense and attack
*   phases, where player 2 can defend against player 1's attacks and deal damage to player 1. The loop continues
*   until either player 2 or player 1's life status reaches 0, at which point the game ends and a winner is declared.
