Memory Game is a Light & Sound Memory game to apply for CodePath's SITE Program.

Submitted by: Janelle Kwofie

Time spent: 3 hours spent in total

Link to project: https://angry-natural-plume.glitch.me for the site & https://glitch.com/edit/#!/angry-natural-plume for the code

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: https://cdn.glitch.com/a0ff3596-e958-412e-a2d8-d0630be5bf87%2Fezgif.com-gif-maker.gif?v=1615689220578

1. If you used any outside resources to help complete your submission (websites, books, people, etc) list them here.

2. What was a challenge you encountered in creating this submission (be specific)? How did you overcome it? (recommended 200 - 400 words)

   My browser was having trouble with the sound playback. At first I examined the code in cpomparison to the tutorial. I asked myself: "What lines of code would have altered sound playback?, Is it my sound or the IDE? ". After analyzing the code I caught no errors from following the tutorial so then it was more about hardware error. I cheked my browsers sound, I turned off third party streaming applicatons, and I turned off my PCs cast and bluetooth. After that did not work either I restarted the IDE, browser, than PC, after that did not work, I restarted. Finally after what was probably half an hour I decided to just stop and take a break. For some reason that worked and after that I was able to countinue building. I realize now that sometimes errors or even hardware problems just need a second, by stepping a way I gave myself and my PC time to figure ourselves out readjust and comeback with a different mindset.

3. What questions about web development do you have after completing your submission? (recommended 100 - 300 words)

What is the best way to learn web development? How do web developers know when a certain marking is appropriate? How do web developers know that the format of the page is appropriate for use? How does finance play into web development? I ask this question because you have to pay for domains and IDES, which makes me kind of understand why I see so many people using third-party applications to make and host their websites. How do I implement a Java game into a webpage or would I have to translate it to JavaScript?

4. 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 a few more hours, I would definitely change the sounds to something more unique. Additionally, I would change the format of the website to make it more aesthetically pleasing and trendy. Lastly, I would probably add a scoreboard. The last game I helped build showcased an old fashion arcade scoreboard, I remember that making the game all more, enticing to the player.
