Takahiku
Automated bot for the browser-based version of "The Higher Lower Game"
Installation

Usage
To start Takahiku, simply run the following:
takahikuOptions
--target <score>:
Specifies the target score to reach before deliberately causing a game over. Useful when attempting to share a screenshot of a specific score.
If absent, the target score will default to 9999999999.
--headless:
Runs Chromium in headless mode
--db <year>:
Specifies the database to use when retrieving scores. 2017 is currently the only database available and contains the data used by The Higher Lower Game as of 27/07/2018.
If absent, the database will default to 2017.
--verbose:
Runs Takahiku in verbose mode.
--continuous:
Runs Takahiku in continuous mode. Upon game over, a new game will be started immediately.
--share:
Upon game over, the Chromium window will be kept open until closed by the user. This allows the use of the share buttons on the game over screen.
--emojiless:
Disables the use of emojis when outputting to the console. This prevents � symbols on systems/terminals that lack emoji support.
I personally recommend and use Hyper.
--train:
Starts Takahiku in training mode. This mode sets the target score to 9999999999 and enables continuous mode.
