Submitted by: Marilyn Hernandez
Time spent: 4 hours spent in total

The following required functionality is complete:
- Game interface has a heading (h1 tag), a line of body text (p tag), and four buttons that match the demo app
- "Start" button toggles between "Start" and "Stop" when clicked.
- Game buttons each light up and play a sound when clicked.
- Computer plays back sequence of clues including sound and visual cue for each button
- Play progresses to the next turn (the user gets the next step in the pattern) after a correct guess.
- User wins the game after guessing a complete pattern
- User loses the game after an incorrect guess
The following optional features are implemented:
- Any HTML page elements (including game buttons) has been styled differently than in the tutorial
- Buttons use a pitch (frequency) other than the ones in the tutorial
- More than 4 functional game buttons
- Playback speeds up on each turn
- Computer picks a different pattern each time the game is played
- Player only loses after 3 mistakes (instead of on the first mistake)
- Game button appearance change goes beyond color (e.g. add an image)
- Game button sound is more complex than a single tone (e.g. an audio file, a chord, a sequence of multiple tones)
- User has a limited amount of time to enter their guess on each turn
The following additional features are implemented:
- List anything else that you can get done to improve the app!
Here's a walkthrough of implemented user stories:
-
If you used any outside resources to help complete your submission (websites, books, people, etc) list them here. N/A
-
What was a challenge you encountered in creating this submission (be specific)? How did you overcome it? (recommended 200 - 400 words) I only encountered one challenge when creating this submission. When using Safari the button sounds would not work but with the same exact code in chrome it did work.
-
What questions about web development do you have after completing your submission? (recommended 100 - 300 words) After completing this submission I have some questions on what other functions we could use a mouse click input with. For example, how could we code something that allows the mouse to click an object and drag it else where on a web page.
-
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 more time with this project I would make a function to keep track of how long the button was held for. Instead of just keeping track of the right colors being clicked in the right sequnce it would be a step harder and create a threshold for how long the button should be held down for.
