go-get-it Project - Emil Todirașcu

DESCRIPTION

I've been fascinated by games from a very young age. I've played all types of games and sometimes wondered what it would be like to make my own.

go-get-it is a single player browser game. You play as a hacker that is given a simple task to complete on a desktop computer. The game is very simple, but there's no instructions on how to complete the task. You have to figure it out yourself.

TOOLS USED

HTML:

Given that it is a browser game, HTML is used for the structure and content.

CSS:

I chose to use vanilla CSS in order to gain experience and get better at it.

JavaScript:

Besides structure and styling, everything else is implemented using plain JavaScript.

GitHub:

Used GitHub for version control as I am very familiar with it.

LESSONS LEARNED

While working on go-get-it I learned a lot about JavaScript. My HTML and CSS skills were quite good going into this, but my JavaScript skills were lacking. I learned a ton about JavaScript and also used it in several unconventional ways due to the nature of this application.

In addition, I also learned other miscellaneous things such as how to make a website look like a desktop, how to create a text chat bot with predefined responses, how to use css transitions to make the game look more appealing and many others.
