Created with love by: lvltcode - link Demo - https://monster-chasing-lvlcode.netlify.com/

This is a simple Canvas-based game that requires a solid understanding of the principles of JavaScript programming to customize.

Required User Stories

• I have at least three code reviews from others.
• The user can move their character with the arrow keys.
• The user can see a monster.
• The monster is placed at a random location within the game boundaries.
• The user can catch a monster by moving their character to the same location as a monster.
• When the user catches a monster, a new monster is placed randomly upon the screen.
• The user can see the numbers of monsters she has caught. Every time she catches a monster, the number should increment by one.
• The game ends when the user has caught 20 monsters. The total time elapsed is displayed upon game completion, in seconds.
• The user can access this game from the internet (e.g. using Netlify).
• The code has been reviewed by at least one other person, using Pull Requests on GitHub.

Optional User Stories

• Custom styling: the developer has replaced the images for the main character, monster, and background with something of her choice.
• The user cannot move her character off the screen.
• The user sees a few different types of monster each time a new monster is spawned.
• The monster moves around on its own each frame, and the user must chase it.
• The map has "obstacles", such as trees, which block the user from moving through the space occupied by the obstacle.
• The user can hear sound effects upon movement and upon catching a monster.
• The user hears background music during the game.
• The user can see their high score.

The following additional features are implemented:

• The monsters move randomly and harder to catch.
• The monsters move randomly but inside the screen.

Time Spent and Lessons Learned

Time spent: 8 hours spent in total.

• Describe any challenges encountered while building the app: Sometime when a variable got wrong values, maybe it make the screen disappear, it take me to checked all the code before I realized.
