Question
This assignment requires you to code a simulation race between the tortoise and the hare. For this
project, you be using random-number generation to move the creatures. To make things more
interesting, the animals have to race up the side of a slippery mountain, which could cause them to
lose ground. In this race either animal could win or there could be a tie with no clear winner.
The animals begin at "Square 1" of 70 squares. Each of the squares represents a position the animal
can hold along the racetrack. The finish line is at Square 70. When an animal wins, a winning
message of your choice should be posted. For example:
