=< INSTRUCTIONS >=========================================================

Pretty standard situation for Wild West - two cowboys with guns are starting the duel. Shoot first or die, be quick or be dead!
After signal a message "Press [?] to shoot" appears on the screen, with a random
lowercase letter shown. Strike the corresponding key immediately, otherwise your
opponent will shoot first and kill you. After shooting press [SPACE] to initiate
another duel.

=< SOURCE CODE EXPLAINED >======================================================

  key or timeout.
1 Clear screen. Draw left and right (mirrored) cowboys.
2 Draw ground (3D projection). Pick random letter and show message after signal.

5 Wipe the standing cowboy and draw a dead one simultaneously.
