.SYNOPSIS
    A PowerShell game inspired by the Fallout hacking minigame.
.DESCRIPTION
    This is a PowerShell game inspired by the Fallout hacking minigame.
    The game is played by guessing the password of a computer terminal.
    The player has a limited number of attempts to guess the password.
    After each guess, the game will display the number of correct letters.
    The player can use this information to narrow down the list of possible passwords.
    The game has multiple difficulty levels. The higher the level, the longer the passwords to guess become.
