Home assessment

This is a take home assessment for the interviews.

This example is based on the Cones of Dunshire, a fictional game from the tv show Parks Recreation.

In this game, a character contains both health and strength. Each time they take a turn, they lose 1 health and 1 strength. Simple enough.

Of course, it's not that simple.

1. health and strength can't drop below 0 and strength can't increase above 20.
2. some characters have special behaviors:

The Ledgerman is just the score keeper and never gains or loses health and strength.

The Maverick is the offensive role and has these unique traits:

1. can gain a maximum of 40 strength
2. gains 2 strength if health is 5 or less
3. gains 1 strength if health is between 6 and 10

The Alchemist is very bespoke:

1. if strength is less than 10, they gain 1 strength
2. if the Alchemist ends the turn with 5 health or less, they lose all their strength
3. the Alchemist has an additional property, vilesAvailable, which is equal to 1/2 their end of turn strength (rounded up).

Since we all have many other priorities in life, please timebox this assignment to no more than a few hours.

Your objective is to add a new character, the "Farmer".

The Farmer of course has special behaviors:

1. loses 2 health each turn
2. loses 1 strength each turn
3. loses an additional strength if health is at or below 5
4. when health reaches 0, strength gets set to 20. Why? Because "it's about the cones"

These test cases have already been written for you on lines 394-496. Please remove the skip on lines 394 and make them green!

Of course, refactoring cones-of-dunshire.ts is suggested. We are fans of both object oriented and functional styles of programming, take your pick!

Once completed, please create a private GitHub repo and invite brandonwestcott as a contributor.
