Reversed spot for working link when we're live! And screenshot of completed app.

I have always enjoyed a little quiz game. You know, just to pass the time while waiting in line at the grocery store or sitting in a waiting room. So I decided to try to build my own using the new tools I've learned thus far: HTML, CSS and JavaScript

Problems I run into go here

What are some goals for this web app?

  • Gain a better understanding of JavaScript, particularly API usage and manipulating the DOM
  • Have clean code, sematic HTML and dry (as I can get it!) CSS.
  • Make the game feel inviting and folks want to return to play again.

Ways to tackle the project

Now that I know what I want to build, here are ideas to achieve my goals :

  • Use Open Trivia Database API
  • Use a cooler color palette, so no fire engine red this time around
  • Mobile Friendly is must, since I'll play primarly on my phone
  • Google Fonts: Poppins
  • Rounded borders, light transitions between questions/selecting answers
