Flashcards is a multiple choice quiz playable from your terminal's command line. This program is written in test-driven vanilla ES6 JavaScript using a starter repo.
To play a round of flashcards:
Clone this repo into your local machine.
git clone git@github.com:hannakim91/flashcards-starter.git
Go into your local repo's Flashcards directory. Install npm, then run the index file.
cd [directory]
npm install
node index.js
Type in the corresponding number to one of the answer choices and hit enter to log your guess. Once you run through all the questions, you will receive a score indicating what percent of questions you answered correctly.
If you score 90% or more, the game ends. If not, the program asks you to play again and restarts the questions from the beginning.
- Figuring out bug with project extension "More Practice" - I didn't realize that creating a
Deckby passing through an array of objects in a dataset, then using theRound.takeTurn()method would delete objects in the original dataset in the first round of gameplay. This isn't an issue if the user plays the game once and scores over 90%. However, if they do go onto a second (and third...etc) round, there is no deck of cards to play through, creating a bug in the whole program. - Thinking for the future: originally, a
Deckwas created without passing throughCardobjects - I was using the dataset given in the starter repo since it used objects that looked very similar to aCard. I learned it was better practice to convert thoseCard-like objects to instances of a card class, in case for future extensions, I would want to add more properties to the card. - Remembering to make atomic commits when things got challenging in the extension.
