Taking Play Mountain (By Strategy) by Austin Dryden An app, born out of writers block, to escape writers block.
While this seems like a relatively basic React app that simply pairs photos with text, its certainly slightly more than that!
- Clicking this button pops open a new react component with an essay explaining the thoughts behind the project. Depending on what color mode you are in, the backgrounds will be greyscale, or not. The text of this button changes to reflect what mode the user is in, using a ternary.
- Clicking this button alternates between black and white, or full color. the two color modes are accomplished via ternary operators modifying the styling of particular elements across the whole app. The text of this button changes to reflect what mode the user is in, using a ternary.
- Clicking this button draws a card, which is a randomly selected photo of the Playscape park, paired with a randomly selected "Oblique Strategies" card text, pulled from an "Oblique Strateges" API. This button is hidden with a ternary before the API call, and only reappears after the new card has been loaded.
- Moves through the stack of cards that have already been generated. While moving through the stack, if the user draws another card, it is inserted at that point in the stack, instead of just the top. These buttons are hidden by ternary operators if the user is at either end of the stack.
