Towers of Hanoi, in LOLCODE\nThis repository contains an implementation of [Towers of Hanoi][hanoi] in [LOLCODE][lolcode], the alleged language of LOLCATS.\n\nThe code is amusingly [human-readable][code].\n\nTo run it, use Justin Meza's LOLCODE interpreter, [lci][lci].\n\n## Highlights\nComments in LOLCODE are expressed in an unassuming manner:\n```lolcode\nBTW too heavy\n```\n\nNobody can be expected to read multi-line comments:\n```lolcode\nOBTW\n  The main game loop.\n\n  Very fun.\nTLDR\n```\n\nOne must be polite to the LOLCODE interpreter:\n```lolcode\nHAI 1.2\n  BTW code goes here\nKTHXBYE\n```\n\nBecause LOLCODE does not support arrays, the states of the towers are represented by strings:\n```lolcode\nI HAS A TOWERLEFT ITZ \"SMALLMEDIUMBIG\"\nI HAS A TOWERMIDDLE ITZ \"EMPTY\"\nI HAS A TOWERRIGHT ITZ \"EMPTY\"\n```\n\nBecause LOLCODE does not support string manipulation beyond concatenation, \"WTF?\" statements are required to determine the state of the towers and act accordingly:\n```lolcode\nFROM, WTF?\n  OMG \"SMALLMEDIUMBIG\"\n    NEWFROM R \"MEDIUMBIG\"\n    GTFO\n  OMG \"MEDIUMBIG\"\n    NEWFROM R \"BIG\"\n    GTFO\n  OMG \"SMALLBIG\"\n    NEWFROM R \"BIG\"\n    GTFO\n  OMG \"SMALLMEDIUM\"\n    NEWFROM R \"MEDIUM\"\n    GTFO\n  OMG \"SMALL\"\n    NEWFROM R \"EMPTY\"\n    GTFO\n  OMG \"MEDIUM\"\n    NEWFROM R \"EMPTY\"\n    GTFO\n  OMG \"BIG\"\n    NEWFROM R \"EMPTY\"\n    GTFO\n  OMG \"EMPTY\"\n    GTFO  BTW this shouldn't happen\nOIC\n```\n\n[code]: ./lib/hanoi.lol\n[hanoi]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tower_of_Hanoi\n[lolcode]:
