This week's challenge was to create a timed functioning trivia game that meets the following acceptance criteria:
- GIVEN I am taking a code quiz
- WHEN I click the Start button
- THEN a timer starts and I am presented with a question
- WHEN I answer a question
- THEN I am presented with another question
- WHEN I answer a question incorrectly
- THEN time is subtracted from the clock
- WHEN all questions are answered or the timer reaches 0
- THEN the game is over
- WHEN the game is over
- THEN I can save my initials and score
My project "takes liberties" with the trivia aspect of the project, my game instead tasks the player with providing the correct answer to a rock, paper, scissors challenge.
While I believe my project still satisfies the acceptance criteria, it's lacking in polish and usability, a brief explainer is included below to compensate.
This is a relatively simple rock, paper, scissors game following the regular triangular rules, ie. paper beats rock which beats scissors which beats paper but with a slight twist, you're presented with the opponents move immediately and must respond correctly within 5 seconds. Answering correctly within the first 2 will begin a combo that gives an exponential score multiplier until a cap is reached.
The game ends at 10 rounds unless you have a combo active, in which case the game will run extra rounds until you lose your combo state by answering slowly or incorrectly.
- Please note that I didn't have time to make this scalable to different screen sizes, it is definitely best viewed at 1080p or close to it.
- Second note - I had big plans for filling this page with more Shrek, images, sound clips for round feedback, but alas my vision will not be realized in time.
