A browser game where the player is challenged with answering riddles
- As a user I want to play a mind-bending guessing game and possibly compare my achievements against other players
- The game features 49 questions and points system that allows players to compete against one another
- As a user I want to be able to skip questions that prove to be too hard
- There's an option for users to skip any question they don't know the answer to. Supplying a wrong answer results in negative points being awarded.
- As a user I want to have a visually pleasing experience
- This one's a bit subjective, but I think the combination of background image, website colors and transparency isn't the worst.
- 49 questions ranging from very easy to being quite a puzzle
- Persistent Highscores - saved to file and retrieved upon restaring the environment
- Javascript Free - All you no-script paranoid people can rejoice!
- Easy to navigate - the game consists of one page really
- Possibly implement highscores.pkl pruning after it reaches certain size
- Ability for active users to chat
- Make questions random for each started game?
- Flask framework - to learn it and make use of the 'views' concept
-
Giving out correct answers to incoming questions advances round and awards points as expected
- Wrong answers give negative points
- Not supplying any answer and pressing submit counts as a wrong answer, as expected
-
Upon answering the last question I was able to start the game over
-
Upon pressing the 'skip' button I was taken to the next question as expected
-
[FIXED] Supplying username and pressing 'submit' allows me to start the game
- Tried very long usernames and they look unappealing both in the scoreboard and highscores
- This will be solved by adding a limit of 15 characters in the username input box
- Tried very long usernames and they look unappealing both in the scoreboard and highscores
-
Tried pressing browser's 'back' button while being on question 3, which took me to the page with question 2, however the game still expects the answer to question 3 so technically I'm giving a correct answer to the question I see (and had a shot at before) but the script is expecting answer to question 3 and awards me negative points Don't know the proper solution to this at the moment
-
[FIXED] Supplying a username that already exists will allow us to play as one, and add to its existing score by answering questions from the beggining
- this will be fixed so that users can't choose existing names
-
Storing hgihscores works locally in C9 environment, however Heroku, as I have learned doesn't allow permanent file storage (at least not with the free plan) so the feature of persistent highscores isn't working. I will rewrite it to use a database (since you can have those addons for free) when I have the time
wget -O- https://toolbelt.heroku.com/install-ubuntu.sh | sh
- Create heroku account
- Create new app with name project-3-riddle
- next in the console
heroku login
- next
heroku git:remote -a project-3-riddle
echo web: python run.py > Procfile
sudo pip3 freeze --local > requirements.txt
git add .
git commit -m "Heroku setup"
git push heroku master
- One last thing is going to our app settings on heroku.com and clicking 'reveal config vars'
- Add IP in the 'key' field and '0.0.0.0' in the value field. Click add.
- In the next set, add PORT and 5000 respectively
I received inspiration for this project from CodeInstitute's milestone project outline
