My joke generator got a complaint about
getting lost in all the map transforms,
so in an effort to make my code easier to follow (ahem)
I have limited myself to only four occurrances of
map in this little project,
instead using the trinary operator, a lot
of conditionals and comparisons, and far too many
variables for such a short program. Enjoy :-)
Oh, you can take out the sleep 1 for
hyper speed, if desired, which is useful if you
want to use the command-line argument to specify
large numbers of fighters. 500 ninjas take too
long to duke it out with the sleep statement in.
