First ship got rejected because it wasnt universally sized, Every position was in pixels, so I converted them all to % or vh or vw. This took 2 hours. I was also doing find and replace all. I’m going to tweak. Now the display looks worse, but at this point im too exausted to care and am not altering anymore cus its going to still look weird of different resolutions. I’ll make peace with it. Sympathize with me yall.

ReadME!!!

WOHOO WE DONEE!!!
I made sure that if you switch between modes it resets everything. Had some issues because I stored the 2nd players scores in something that was also an html element, so it didnt work out originally, but a quick fix in adding variables to store score and changing scoring mechanisms was quick and efficient. Then a copius amount of testing to see for bugs. You’ll see one in the video below where it displays who won twice, but thats my fault cus in my code it waits three seconds before running, so if player 2 finishes within 3 seconds of player 1, itll run twice, so quick fix there. Then more testing and I havent encountered bugs in a while so I’m calling it a wrap! Tomorrow and Tuesday is ReadMe work, and Tuesday we shipping.

NO BUGGSS!!!
So I spent a grueling amount of time testing and fixing, but the bug fix was like I expected. I know that once a 0 is recorded, it resets the rollcounter to 0, so I made sure you can only add a 0 if rollcounter is greater than 0. That way, the event listerns can run multiple times, but only the first one can do something. After that, I spent a loooong time in testing And I just caught some 3 errors in my code that wasnt too bad. Then I spent some more time testing, the first time where Player 2 tests the upper section on how it handles 0s while Player 2 tests Lower section, and the second game was vice versa, Player 2 test upper section while Player 1 tests lower section. All in all, happy with my work. Tomorrow I make sure it resets everything when you switch between modes, and Monday/Tuesday can be ReadMe, so I can ship and finish Sticky Streak!!!

I am going to start bashing my head in the wall cus I have an UNBELIEVABLE AMOUNT OF BUGS
So I finished the scoring for the lower section in multiplayer, which is fine, and compiled lower score but now the bugs start:

1. Grand Total won’t show - I spent like 20 minutes figuring out why because variable names matched in both html and js, but then I look a little bit more closely and then instead of GrandTotalScore2 = document.querySelector("#GrandTotalScore2) its GrandTotalScore = document.querySelector("#GrandScore2) Im going to tweak.
2. Sometimes if you record a zero for player 1, it also feels the need to give a 0 to player 2. This is because of too many event listeners nesting, and they never really go away (a previous issue that was fixed with a current checker) so a quick solution for that, or so I thought, it is not the case right now, because I added an if statement that actually means nothing, because
3. If you decline a 0, and then score a 0 for the other players, both columns get a 0. because of… 🥁 I nested the event listeners too much!! and I am NOT rewriting all the code because thats too much and im in too deep. So I think I now the solution right now, because it resets the dice count each time, so I just need to make sure if the dice is reset you cant do it again, but I’m too tired for that. The video below shows the 2nd/3rd bugin effect, and Im not filming something new cus im too tired. The second video shows the 1st bug. Enjoy, sorry for the long devlog but I barely kept sticky streak past couple days so basically no time to devlog.

So some more scoring for the 2s through 6s in multiplayer. Pretty straightforward I though, until during recording I encountered some bugs that I have no clue whats up with that, but Im not touching them today. dont have the energy for that.

So I added started Scoring if there is a 2 player. I spent some time trying to find out the best way to tackle it while adding the least amount as possible, and I believe I did. while It will be a while before I bug test the whole thing, theres 2 situations in which you score the first column, so thats an if ((situation1)||(situation2)){scoring1} and then an else{scoring2} for the second column, so I think it works out nice. So i think it should become easier for the rest. Also a snippet of code if you’re interested

Ughhh, this is more complicated than I thought. So initially my codespace was buggin out cus stuff wouldnt load, took me some time to make the second chart for scoring, and positioning the circles and Multi/Single player circles to show modes. And now Ive though of how much of a headache this is gonna be to make. But we’ll persevere

Ok, so now I am done with the basic version, everything should work, touched up the intro stuff, and added one page for how to play and rules, and another for scoring. I also topped up an issue I just had with myself that you can open multiple tabs like how to play and New game that overlay each other, so I made sure that doesnt happen.
Also when touching up the intro, I wanted Next page and Close next to each other, but then they didnt have any bottom margin, so I used bottom: 16px that applied only to the visible box and not the whole scrollable thing, so then I had to create a div with display: flex, and do it there, which worked out, but still annoying nonetheless when im just about done.
I’ll add a version where you can do 2 player, and then I’ll ship!

Worked on the New Game button. Just a monolith of a hundred different verifiers getting reset to false, and a bunch of .innerhtml = "" Also, fun quirk in my code I figured when I tried to copy all the verifiers. My OneChecker variable was actually OneChekcer, so the ck was a kc, so when I try to copy paste and all of the other checkers arent recognized, I quickly figured it out.

Getting there.
So I added the grand total mechanism, then also decided to pop up a window with you’re score and how good of a score that is. And then theres some bugs I encountered, so some general fixes and making sure everything works smoothly. I’m gonna work on new game now, and then the intro

Almost Done (for the basic version)
So I added the things for 3 of a kind, 4 of a kind, and Full house, which is all of them!!! I did a quick optimization because for chance, 3 of a kind, and 4 of a kind, the score is all the dice added. So I did a quick adding function, but then for some reason it wouldn’t work, even though the variable was global, but apparantly i needed to store it, even though I thought I did, so the fix was score = adding() But thats kinda it, everything can get scored now, so I need to make sure it can all get added up to the Lower score, then the grand total, make sure new game works, and I’ll touch up the intro, make it better.

Some complicated work done and learnt some new stuff BY MYSELF!!!
So basically, a long straight is all 5 in a row, like 1,2,3,4,5, or 2,3,4,5,6, and its going to be an if statement of doom and despair if I do it like that. SO, I put them in an array, and sort them from least to greatest, so my long straight code looks like this if (Dice[0] + 1 == Dice[1] && Dice[1] + 1 == Dice[2] && Dice[2] + 1 == Dice[3] && Dice[3] + 1 == Dice[4]) and I also remembed to make Dice a global value, so it doesnt exist only in that function, which is what I didnt realize a couple days ago, which is why it was better to start from simple to harder. and I figured this out ALL BY MYSELF, NO AI, JUST PURE LOGIC
now for small straight, it was a bit more complicated, cus its only 4 in a row, so there can be duplicates, so theres 4 situtaions in which it can work. I got the first 2 light work, then I realized later I needed the other 2. Now here is where AI got involved, cus Im thinking if I do if (situation1) else if (situation 2) else if (situation 3 ) else if (situation 4) else and repeat the same instructions 4 times, if it can be condensed, and then Gemini told me about if ((situation 1) || (situation2) || (situation3) || (situation4)) and then only one set of instructions. Nice to know that. Happy with my progress here.

So I fixed the previous bug, by making creating a variable that each section has a specific number, so the score 0 can only be applied when the section number matches the variables number at that time. I then also added scoring for chance and yahtzee (which dont require an array) That was pretty simple, just adding em all up for chance, and making sure they all equal each other for yahtzee, which took a long time becuase I limited myself to only 3 rolls Then I had the bright idea to just change the amount of rolls im allowed so I make sure it works. It does.

So maybe less visual progres today: I just made sure that if the score is 0, then you gotta confirm that you’re scoring a zero. I’m getting better at recognizing that when I have a lot of repeting code, to start using functions But sadly not for this, because I though that itll do the function, and then just record a zero without waiting for my input, so I added event listeners everywhere, and it worked so I’m not complaining. I caught a bug that if you hit no multiple times, then if you hit yes it logs multiple 0s, but the fix was ___Score.innerhtml = Score instead of ___Score.innerhtml += Score Then there was an issue where the confirmation window vertically stacked Yes and no, which is not what I wanted, but I forgot to add Position: absolute And lastly theres a bug where if you click multiple sections that can be 0, when you eventually click yes on one of them, it logs 0 to all I clicked. But I aint fixing that today, thats a tomorrow problem, so see you all tomorrow.

Perhaps a day with more noticable progress. I finished up the scoring for the upper section, and added the function to check if you get the bonus or not, and making sure that you’ve scored everything before deserving it or not. So a bunch of copy pasting the same code for the 2s-6s, and then some writing for the Bonus function, tomorrow will probably be less work, just confirming that is you’re scoring a 0 you know you’re doing it.

I am continously amazed at how much more work is actually showing itself up rn. I planned to start the 2s, 3s, 4s, 5s, 6s, but I just spent today with rules. I wanted to commit on pop-ups removing everything except the warning so it looks nice, but closing a bunch of windows each time is tedious. Lucky me.. I remembered functions exist!!!! so now I have a closebunch and openbunch functions that close or open a bunch of windows depending on what I want it to do. so nice. and then theres a bunch of things you can do, so instead of each being its own warning, I bunched that into one with just a list of things you cant do should you try, and I called that one function NoNo() I also reset the dice after you score yourself, can’t lock the dice when they’re reset and made sure you can only score yourself in proper conditions, and cant rescore So no bugs now, which is great. Heres some good progress (longer video, more to show off). But hey, I also figured out that this qualifies as making a game in a non-game engine, so if I have 10 hours from now till then I get it so got my work cut out for me.

Man………………… I’ve got a LOT to learn.
So I started out with a filter function, just to arrange the dice rolls from greatest to largest, then started an if statement were if any equal 1, then thats the score, and put it into the innerhtml. If only it were that easy right.
I dont think a single line of code was right there . I didn’t put the filter function outside of it, so it wasnt even called upon, and basically nothing was right.
So I decided to start with basics, if I click this button will it show a number. It does, So then if this die value is 1, add 1 to the tally, and then display the tally score. That doesnt work. It was because the die’s value is locked in a function, so it needs to exist in the main script. easy fix, and now it works . But the code is very simple, it’ll work for 1s-6s, which is nice, but I want a deeper code understanding. I’ll have to use an array, and index it for short/long straight. I’ll have to make sure you can only click it once, verify if your score will be 0, and reset dice rolls to make sure you can roll again. But thats a problem for another day. So adios
