playing with ssml & "uplifting" adhearsion simon game

• lets talk binary and take me back in time bending robot
• simon should speak faster than faster than faster
• correct number of attemps + game over & high score after 3 fails

If you look at the example @ http://www.w3.org/TR/speech-synthesis/#edef_break "Press 1 or wait for the tone" We can assume space separation is the way to do this. However this doesn't requires us to use ssml so I add in http://www.w3.org/TR/speech-synthesis/#edef_prosody
