Memory Game is a Light & Sound Memory game to apply for CodePath's SITE Program.
Submitted by: Miguel Amaro
Time spent: 20 hours spent in total
Link to project: https://ninth-nonstop-transport.glitch.me
The following required functionality is complete:
- Game interface has a heading (h1 tag), a line of body text (p tag), and four buttons that match the demo app
- "Start" button toggles between "Start" and "Stop" when clicked.
- Game buttons each light up and play a sound when clicked.
- Computer plays back sequence of clues including sound and visual cue for each button
- Play progresses to the next turn (the user gets the next step in the pattern) after a correct guess.
- User wins the game after guessing a complete pattern
- User loses the game after an incorrect guess
The following optional features are implemented:
- Any HTML page elements (including game buttons) has been styled differently than in the tutorial
- Buttons use a pitch (frequency) other than the ones in the tutorial
- More than 4 functional game buttons
- Playback speeds up on each turn
- Computer picks a different pattern each time the game is played
- Player only loses after 3 mistakes (instead of on the first mistake)
- Game button appearance change goes beyond color (e.g. add an image)
- Game button sound is more complex than a single tone (e.g. an audio file, a chord, a sequence of multiple tones)
- User has a limited amount of time to enter their guess on each turn
The following additional features are implemented:
- Dynamic background textures using shaders
- Random Button Rotation in Bonus found
- Asking the user to wait for the sequence to finish if they pres button while it is playing
- Random sequence generation
If you recorded multiple GIFs for all the implemented features, you can add them here:

What was a challenge you encountered in creating this submission (be specific)? How did you overcome it? (recommended 200 - 400 words) A challenge I faced was verifying assumptions on various aspects of the code and making sure that correct paths were taken as the state changeed. What helped a lot was using the Firefox debugger which allow me to breakpoint and step though various parts of the code which i thought could be problematic. An example would be writing the code to play the squid game song. I know the song is around 125bpm which is 480ms. I know that if i have for example 4 quarter notes then I'm dividing the 480ms into 4 giving me 120 for each note and if I want there to be small gaps between notes then I would have to subtract a percentage of all the notes in that 480ms interval. Therefore, if all is well the sum of all the hold and releases for all notes should be equal to 480ms. Going through the debugger was really convenienct in verfying that my data was being accessed and correctly and my varibles were correct. It was also helpful in modifying the update(guess()) function so that the original game remained intact while giving the user and option to play the bonus round.

What questions about web development do you have after completing your submission? (recommended 100 - 300 words)

If you had a few more hours to work on this project, what would you spend them doing (for example: refactoring certain functions, adding additional features, etc). Be specific. (recommended 100 - 300 words) I would try to colapse the bonus(squid game) functions with the original functions and use some state to determine what sequence to choose. Better would be to standardize the format of the sequences so that all that would be needed is to set the sequence that should be played. Currently there is the format from the tutorial where the time invervals between the notes in the sequence is determined by one variable and the format where the each note in the sequence has associated time data.
