I'm trying to do class inheritance in C++, but it obviously works very differently than in Python.

Right now, I have two classes, one called Player that is the base class, and another one called HumanPlayer that's the subclass.

The Player class is an abstract class that has two ways of working.

The first is that it acts like a singleton. It has one static function called make_move that people can call with an int and a TicTacToeGame&, and it will make a move for the player with that int as the player's number in that game of TicTacToe.

The second is that it works as a class for creating objects that have a player number as a property. So, if you construct an object with the class, you should get back an object with a player_number property. Then, if you call the make_move function with just a TicTacToeGame& on the object, it will automatically plug in its player number and use the static class method to make the move in the game.

I want the same functionality for HumanPlayer, except I just want to have to write a new static function for HumanPlayer, and that's it, since the other functionality remains the same.

Here's the code:
