Instructions:

• This game is a trivia game with the added competitive twist of making the setting a job interview
• The “Interview” is specifically for Web Developers, offering 3 different "positions" (difficulty levels)
  1. Two highly-qualified candidates will go head to head in an intense round of interview questions asked by the company's CEO
  2. Each Candidate will be asked 10 questions
  3. Correct answers = +1 point
  4. Candidates will alternate turns, regardless of a correct/incorrect answer
  5. The interview will come to an end after both candidates answer their 10 questions
  6. The Candidate with the most points will receive a job offer

Challanges:

• CHALLANGE: Trying to move through the questions while having specific actions happen after each question- TRIED:
  1. for loop - didn’t work
  2. Prompts - didn’t work

• SOLUTION: creating an increaseQuestion method with a variable for nextIndex

• CHALLANGE: Alternating player turns and having the points counter recognize each player- TRIED:
  1. Two separate question arrays - didn’t work

• SOLUTION: creating a nested if/else statement, alternating true/false per player after each submission

Future Add-Ons:

• Responsive Web-Design
• Add Mid-Level and Senior-Level Questions
• Add a timer, 10 seconds to answer each question
• Add a feature to “steal” candidate’s question if answered incorrectly or time limit exceeds with no answer
• Add a tie-breaker rule, sudden death questions
• Improve certain UX aspects

Instructor Feedback:

• Successes-

  1. Met all criteria required for game:
     • Winner/Loser
     • 2 Players
     • Deployed
     • Can play game from beginning to end
  2. Good balance bettween focus on design and functunality
  3. Good "game plan"/organization of the process

• Areas of Opportunity-

  1. Organize your JS more:
     • Declare your functions on a seperate JS file than your logic
     • Avoid declaring functions inside of the logic, only call the functions already created
