Development Process

I started with creating a basic HTML/CSS skeleton in order to better visualize things and see how to start implementing functionality. Then, I moved on to setting up user authentication because it was the most straightforward for me. In order to work on the game, I had to do some extra reading and have discussions with classmates because I was treating the game as if it was dependent on the API. However, after better understanding the separation of components, I was quickly able to figure out the game logic and THEN implement connections with the API. Lastly, I worked on the layout and style once everything was functioning adequately.

Unsolved Problems and Next Steps

• Not responsive
• Code not completely DRY, needs a lot of refactoring
• Storing/retrieving game winners from database
• Allowing users to play one game from separate computers
