Express Games

We've spent the morning using the express library to write HTTP servers...use express to write a server that meets the following specifications...

Specification:

• GET /coin_toss
  • returns "Heads" or "Tails"
• GET /dice_roll
  • returns a number between 1 and 6
• GET /magic8ball/will+it+snow+tomorrow
  • returns the question asked (in this case, "Will it snow tomorrow?"), followed by a random magic 8 ball response (see below)
• GET /rps/rock
  • returns the computer's random choice, followed by the outcome of the rps game.
    • Example: "The computer chose (computer's choice). You (win/lose/tie)!"

###Bonus###

• Make an external request to the NYC restaurant ratings API from your server.
