This was the fist time I used arrays.
It confused the hell out of me. I've got it now though so there's no need to worry. For any of you who
played the game clue before will somewhat understand this alittle better. The game is not actually played.
It randomly chooses a murderer, a weapon and a location and displays it on the screen.
