guess-constructor

Word Guess command-line game using constructor functions, Node and the inquire package.

Value Proposition 🎯

A little fun with this guessing words game running on node.js! To start playing you type in letters either on upper or lower case.

Instructions 📝

• Start by running node index.
• Input letters to try to find out which letters hide behind the underscore.
• Whenever you get the word right, it will prompt and ask if you want to keep on playing.
• Words might repeat.
• Lastly, you only get 10 attempts per word.

Code Overview 🌳

The most import piece of code on this repository is the use of object constructors and the npm package inquirer. The main constructor running the checks is the Letter constructor inside letter.js:

function Letter(char) {
    this.wordPlaceholder = [char];
    this.guessed = false;
    this.guessedLetter = function () {
        if (char === ' ') {
            this.guessed = true;
            return ' ';
        } else if (this.guessed === false) {
            return '_';
        } else {
            return char;
        };
    };
    this.letterChecker =  function (guessChar) { 
        if (guessChar === this.wordPlaceholder[0].toUpperCase() || guessChar === this.wordPlaceholder[0].toLowerCase()) {
            this.guessed = true;
        };    
    }
}

module.exports = Letter;
}
