When you call a function from within that function you are using recursion.
This is not what recursion is intended for. If you play long enough you
will run out of memory.

The proper way to handle this is to put the entire body of game() in a
while loop.

Since the values of e and f are not changed in the loop he will continue to
get the same thing.
