What's the change?

  • Added subjects, so now the questions are asked from specific domains.
  • Consecutively the questions database was changed.
  • Initially all guesses were 5 letter long, but now number of letters/boxes per guess are dynamically set as the number of letters of the answer vary.
  • Only thoses questions were added to database whose answers didn't have spaces or special symbols.

Data We Need to Track

Solution:

  • 5 letter string, e.g. 'drain'

Past Guesses:

  • An array of past guesses
  • Each past guess is an array of letter objects [{}, {}, {}, {}, {}]
  • Each object represents a letter in the guess word {letter: 'a', color: 'yellow'}

Current Guess:

  • String 'hello'

Keypad Letters:

  • Array of letter objects [{key: 'a', color: 'green'}, {}, {} ...]

Number of Turns:

  • An integer 0 - 6

Game Process

Entering Words:

  • User enters a letter & a square is filled with that letter
  • When a user hits delete it deletes the previous letter
  • When a user hits enter it submits the word
    • If all squares are not filled with letters then the word is not submitted
    • If that word has already been used in a previous guess then the word is not submitted

Checking Submitted Words:

  • Each letter is checked to see if it matches the solution
  • Each letter is assigned a color based on its inclusion in the solution
    • Exact matches (correct position in the solution) are green
    • Partial matches (in the solution but not the correct position) are yellow
    • None-matches (not in the solution at all) are grey
  • The guess is added to the grid with the correct colors
  • The current guess moves to the next row
  • The keypad letters are updated (colors)

Ending the Game:

  • When the guessed word fully matches the solution
    • Modal to say 'well done'
  • When the user runs out of guesses
    • Modal to say 'unlucky'
