what to expect:
This is code quiz game built in html, css and javascript. Subsequent versions will improve upon:
- code simplification
- better separation of concerns between functions
- styling
- getting the clearInterval to work better
- and several other topics
Acceptance: GIVEN I am taking a code quiz WHEN I click the start button THEN a timer starts and I am presented with a question WHEN I answer a question THEN I am presented with another question WHEN I answer a question incorrectly THEN time is subtracted from the clock WHEN all questions are answered or the timer reaches 0 THEN the game is over WHEN the game is over THEN I can save my initials and my score
Psedo Code: How I approached the challenge User Inputs: User input - startButton User input - clickChoice for answer User input - enter initials after game Functions:
- start
- timer with countdown linked to win and lose game
- track individual user (tied to initials) wins and losses (set to 0 initially)
- create user initially based on user input, or update score if not first time
- persist storage on page refresh
- create question list
- render next question to screen with possible answer selections (increment an index variable)
- user selection for answer
- link answer selection to user input click
- post message if correct or incorrect
- track correct or incorrect answers during game
- win game
- lose game
- high score
variables:
-
questions array ["question 1 with answers", "question 2 with answers] is this better as an object?
- array for question numbers ["question1", "question2",....]
- array for possible answers ["possible answer 1", thru 4......]
-
wins
-
losses
-
initials
-
highscore
order to build:
- html with basic divs
- start button
- timer
- render first question to the screen
- capture user selection
- save answer during game
- win and lose functions
- save to local storage
