1. Create and Style the Home Page

In this video, we are going to create the home page along with a good chunk of the necessary CSS. The home page will consist of a few links for the Game and High Scores pages. We will also create helper CSS classes for Flexbox, buttons, and hiding elements.

I encourage you all to take a look at Emmet snippets for generating HTML and CSS.

Resources

• Understanding REM Units
• A Complete Guide to Flexbox

2. Create and Style the Game Page

In this video, we will create the Game Page and display static question and answer information. Eventually, we will load questions from an API, but for now, we will hard code one question so to establish styling.

3. Display Hard Coded Question and Answers

In this video, we will load questions from a hard coded array and iterate through available questions as the user answers them. We will use custom data attributes, the ES6 spread operator, and JavaScript arrow functions.

Resources

• Creating Code Snippets in Visual Studio Code
• Using Data Attributes
• Document Query Selector
• Document Get by ID
• Spread Operator
• Arrow Functions

4. Display Feedback for Correct/Incorrect Answers

In this video, we check the user's answer for correctness and display feedback to the user before loading the next question.

Resources

• Bootstrap 4 Colors
• Triple vs Double Equals

5. Create Head's Up Display (HUD)

In this video, we will create a Heads Up Display (HUD) for our quiz app. This will display the user's score and current question number.

Resources

• ES6 Template Literals

6. Create a Progress Bar

In this video, we will take our HUD one step further by creating a visual progress bar to track the user's progress through the questions.

7. Create and Style the End Page

In this video, we will create our End page where we will display the user's achieved score. This screen will provide a form for saving the score and links for playing again or going home.
