Virtual Pet Game

The game will use a Unicorn class to instantiate an object that represents a pet unicorn. The object will have properties that keep track of how the unicorn is feeling, and methods that allow the player to interact with their pet unicorn. This game will run entirely in the console by entering the methods manually.
