Homework Assignment #6: Advanced Loops
Create a function that takes in two parameters: rows, and columns, both of which are integers. 
The function should then proceed to draw a playing board (as in the examples from the lectures) 
the same number of rows and columns as specified. After drawing the board, your function should return True.
Extra Credit:
Try to determine the maximum width and height that your terminal and screen can comfortably fit without wrapping. If someone passes a value greater than either maximum, your function should return Talse.
