Winning the Game:
-
If you used any outside resources to help complete your submission (websites, books, people, etc) list them here. => I use Google and Stackoverflow to search on how to generate random whole numbers from a specific range, how to use inteval and some of javascripts syntax.
-
What was a challenge you encountered in creating this submission (be specific)? How did you overcome it? (recommended 200 - 400 words) => I faced many challenges when I was doing the project and optional features because I had to prioritize my time for studying and doing assignments. Other than that, I did not find it difficult to create this submission. Because I had heard about GitHub and some other version control softwares, it did not take many times to upload my project from Glitch to GitHub.
-
What questions about web development do you have after completing your submission? (recommended 100 - 300 words) => I would like to know more about web application development. Since I am working at frontdesk in my college, I had a chance to use many different management and check-in softwares. I wonder if I can make something like that or improve it because I feel like the user experience is not very good on those applications.
-
If you had a few more hours to work on this project, what would you spend them doing (for example: refactoring certain functions, adding additional features, etc). Be specific. (recommended 100 - 300 words) => If I had a few more hours to work on this project, I would spend them doing more documentation on my code. I would add more comments and explanations to make it easier for future maintenance. Also, I would spend more time testing my program with different test cases to make sure it was correctly implemented.
