Ship #1

@atharva02 on Jeopardy · about 11 hours ago

I made a trivia game with Jeopardy structure(read Devlog #2, you’ll understand). This was challenging mainly for creating questions as I need to balance incrementing difficulty while also ensuring the questions are fair across all 5 categories. I’m proud that I created this project as it solves a problem my family had whenever we play this in that Google Slides can’t hide money cells after being answered. Being able to solve this problem by creating a website makes me really happy. It’s pretty simple to use, something that isn’t recognized right away is that if you click the “THE BOARD” at the top, you’ll be directed to Super Questions, this is highlighted in the README as well. Other than that I’d love to expand this project in any way the people want me to so all feedback is appreciated. Enjoy!

Devlog #2

After spending some time to create some questions, its done! A relatively simple project, but I wanted to do this mainly for personal reasons. Usually when I play this with my family via Google Slides, it doesn’t hide the money cells, hence why I coded it to solve this issue. Also I’ve recently realized that I’ve been calling this Jeopardy despite it being more of a trivia game, just with the Jeopardy structure. I want to clarify, when using this, it will give you a question, which you try to answer, not the other way around like it usually is in Jeopardy. Also, I added a return button like I mentioned from the first devlog. Lastly, this is usually meant to be played in a group setting verbally, hence why there isn’t input boxes to type an answer in to grade yourself, or money incrementors by team. If this is a wanted feature, I can add it, but this was a on-the-fly type project so it won’t be present within the first ship.

The initial structure is complete! This wasn’t too difficult to get working, but its a repetitive task that was completed nonetheless. It’s a pretty simple JavaScript and DOM structure, all the buttons have ID’s that lead to a specific screen that replaces the question and answer labels with their respective question and answer. Something to note for now, the way to get back to the main screen is by clicking the answer label itself. I’m not sure why I designed it that way, it was most likely a spur of the moment idea, but might be changed by next ship. Now that the structure is done, the next step is to simply get all the questions inputted and this will be shipped soon. Enjoy!
