INTRODUCTION

This is my first Javascript project with the help of a tutorial by Jonas Schmedtmann, which I used in learning Javascript.

It is called Pig Game.

It is built with HTML, CSS and Javascript. app.js - javascript - Visual Studio Code 9_30_2020 11_18_27 AM.png

PROGRAMMING CONCEPT USED

  • ES5
  • DOM

TECHNOLOGIES USED

  • HTML
  • CSS
  • JAVASCRIPT(Vanilla Javascript)

HOW IT WORKS

Game Rules

  • The game has 2 players, playing in rounds.
  • In each turn, a player rolls a dice as many times as he wishes. Each result get added to his ROUND score.
  • BUT, if the player rolls a 1, all his ROUND score gets lost. After that, it's the next player's turn.
  • The player can choose to 'Hold', which means that his ROUND score gets added to his GLOBAL score. After that, it's the next player's turn.
  • The first player to reach 100 points on GLOBAL score wins the game.

PURPOSE OF THE GAME

  • It is a game which can be played during leisure hours.
  • It can be used to relieve stress while playing.
  • It is played for fun.

CHALLENGES FACED

  • I had to cope with the fact that I'm no more a civil engineer anymore but now aspiring to be a developer.
  • It was tedious starting because it is my first javascript project although it went well.
  • After pushing to github, part of my code wasn't displaying the icons precisely, which is still not displaying but I am still working on it though.

THINGS LEARNT DURING THE PROJECT

  • I learnt a lot of new javascript elements, for example,

    strings, arrays, objects, e.t.c

  • Being my first javascript project, I learnt working with the DOM.

APPRECIATION

My sincere appreciation goes to the following who made it a success, without them, it wouldn't have been possible

  • Jonas Schmedtmann - Javascript Developer(tutor, owner of tutorial video)
  • Sodiq Farayola - Backend Developer(Node.js)

CONCLUSION

Programming is a beautiful course, with the little I've done, I really want to continue learning.
