 * The code below will read all the game information for you.
 * On each game turn, information will be available on the standard input, you will be sent:
 * -> the total number of visible enemies
 * -> for each enemy, its name and distance from you
 * The system will wait for you to write an enemy name on the standard output.
 * Once you have designated a target:
 * -> the cannon will shoot
 * -> the enemies will move
 * -> new info will be available for you to read on the standard input.
