Javascript – Magic 8 Ball Script

This is a magic 8 ball program written in html and javascript. So it’s very lean fast and quick. You are free to use this script because it’s open source I made this solely for fun. So fork it. This is basically a random answer generator which uses random number and switch statement to be written. Have fun. 😉
