==Wireframes==
==Description==
Island Survival is a game where you crashed on an island and have to survive by managing health, thirst, and hunter to 10 years before escaping to win.
Javascript code was initially written using a player object with many methods to interact with DOM for MVP, later changed to using classes for a bonus feature
==User Stories==
Player/user is presented with a welcome screen with basic instructions and name entry before Play
After beginning the game, player sees several metrics on the top bar that they have to manage, keeping Health above 0 and Thirst/Hunger Levels lower than 10.
Player has several buttons on the bottom of the game screen that will call various functions that affect metrics
As time progresses, Health will decrease and Thirst/Hunger will increase at a set interval
Some buttons will have both positive and negative effects
Trying to escape before reaching the minimum 10 years will punish the player.
Failing a metric check (exceeding metric limit) will be a game over.
Successful escape will generate a win screen

==Other Notes/Spoilers==
In trying to "give birth to a baby" or "add another survivor to the island" I couldn't figure/plan out how to setup the game board for two characters at the same time. So the conversion of the Javascript file from using an object to classes seemed wasted. Instead I implemented another idea where you play a stripped down version as a volleyball if your name is "Wilson". So the "full game" is actually extended(a child) from the Wilson parent class while the stripped version is the parent class with minimal functionality. Which I think is a bad idea because now the "Player" class is a child of a "Wilson". Player child class has many more functions and abilities as well as overwrites some parent class functions
