Druidan / WhaleDiplomacy

The Whales have agreed to peace talks, but if you cannot pass their test, the only path forward is a war humanity cannot hope to fin.

Whale Diplomacy

The Whale Wars are upon us, and only your trivia skills give us any hope of averting the coming calamity!

Overview and Goals

Whale Wars is a silly timed trivia game that, aside from being a fun way to pass some free time, is also meant to be a way to display my knowledge and use of jQuery, and using window object methods like setInterval.

Deployment

This app is slated for refactoring - see future features This game will be deployed at the following page via GitHub Pages - Whale Wars.

MVP

• The basic game mechanics have to be fully functional and implemented:
  • The user must be presented with a start screen and instructional test.
  • Once the user has clicked the start button, the game must progress through a multiple choice quiz with a timer on each question.
  • Upon selecting an answer, or no answer, the game must progress to a screen with the correct answer for a short time before automatically continuing on to the next question.
  • The game must keep track of the user's score and statistics throughout.
  • After the final question has been dealt with, an end game screen displaying information such as their score and the results of the game's story must be displayed.
  • The game must present the user with the ability to play again to try for a different outcome.
• Each slide must have an appropriate image to the quiz's theme (whales, in this case).
• The app must use jQuery to interact with the HTML nodes, hiding and revealing them as nessesary.
• The app must have clear and appropriate CSS.

Dependencies

• jQuery
• Bootstrap

Active Bugs and Issues

There are currently no bugs that I am aware of.

Future Features / Icebox

• Add Gifs of the project in action to this very README.
• I plan on a full revision of the code with the following goals:
  • Maintain the use of jQuery to display my skills with it.
  • Replace Bootstrap with Grid.
  • Modularize the code, seperating it up into discrete files that can be imported into a main file - especially the quiz questions object.
  • Bring in later improvements I made to my code, such as the class version of the sound object.
  • Make the code more efficient in terms of space and steps required to complete tasks.
  • Add specific and clear comments to the code.
• Make an alternate version of the game that ditches jQuery for vanilla JS or React, and uses a database for holding the quiz questions and assets.
