# Towers of Hanoi, in LOLCODE
This repository contains an implementation of [Towers of Hanoi][hanoi] in [LOLCODE][lolcode], the alleged language of LOLCATS.
The code is amusingly [human-readable][code].
To run it, use Justin Meza's LOLCODE interpreter, [lci][lci].
## Highlights
Comments in LOLCODE are expressed in an unassuming manner:
```lolcode
BTW too heavy
```
Nobody can be expected to read multi-line comments:
```lolcode
OBTW
The main game loop.
Very fun.
TLDR
```
One must be polite to the LOLCODE interpreter:
```lolcode
HAI 1.2
BTW code goes here
KTHXBYE
```
Because LOLCODE does not support arrays, the states of the towers are represented by strings:
```lolcode
I HAS A TOWERLEFT ITZ "SMALLMEDIUMBIG"
I HAS A TOWERMIDDLE ITZ "EMPTY"
I HAS A TOWERRIGHT ITZ "EMPTY"
```
Because LOLCODE does not support string manipulation beyond concatenation, "WTF?" statements are required to determine the state of the towers and act accordingly:
```lolcode
FROM, WTF?
OMG "SMALLMEDIUMBIG"
NEWFROM R "MEDIUMBIG"
GTFO
OMG "MEDIUMBIG"
NEWFROM R "BIG"
GTFO
OMG "SMALLBIG"
NEWFROM R "BIG"
GTFO
OMG "SMALLMEDIUM"
NEWFROM R "MEDIUM"
GTFO
OMG "SMALL"
NEWFROM R "EMPTY"
GTFO
OMG "MEDIUM"
NEWFROM R "EMPTY"
GTFO
OMG "BIG"
NEWFROM R "EMPTY"
GTFO
OMG "EMPTY"
GTFO BTW this shouldn't happen
OIC
