I coded the introduction part of my game.

In this milestone I created necessary files such as Starfall, starfall_spawner,
person, and questioner. I used smaple codes from Retro and adjusted them to suit
my purposes. I am proud of the Questioner file. I was intimidated that I would
drop the ball on the dialogue spawn but after frustrating few tries, I manges to make it look
and spawn as I wanted it to. I am now worried about how to make the starfall_spawner
launch and abort as intended (start after answers then pause once player collects 200 points.)
I learned new skills with how to accept input answers. I was reading up on ways to sort the answers
and I learned about strip and upper functions that help remove spaces and lowercase specifications!
