Generates sparktweets from input arrays of data.

function (
    a,                          // argument array
    b, s, l, r                  // variables

        s = a.slice().sort()    // s is copied and sored array of a
    ).length,
    r = s[l - 1] - s[0];        // r is max(a) - min(a)
    b = '';                     // b is return value

    while (l--)                             // loop l times

                                            // (some browser could not render unicode 9604 and 9608 ...?)
            9601 + ~~ 7 * (a[l] - s[0]) / r // use "~~" instead of Math.floor()
        ) + b;                              // concat forward

Nice work, a for loop helps.

function(a,b,s,l,r){for(l=(s=a.slice().sort()).length,r=s[l-1]-s[0],b='';l--;b=String.fromCharCode(9601+~~7*(a[l]-s[0])/r)+b);return b}

awesome!
Thanks much.

Aww I got out-sparktweeted. :(

Nice work! :D ^5

hey @sugyan, would you mind taking the comments out of your package.json?
