Overall, I completed the assignment as directed, by making a functional partial Yahtzee Game. With five dice, using font awesome, and allowing user to roll three times before being forced to score on the board. Also added a save and load button using local storage and JSON functions. This game is missing some of the usual scoring spots (That are on the full game) you would see like straights and an actual Yahtzee score button for five of a kind. I’m sure I could implement these with little hassle, however due to the time constraints I don’t know if I could implement and test these right now. I do plan on making it a full fledge Yahtzee and try to make the code more efficient/consistent throughout. Because I would like to put it on my resume soon. One thing I wish I could’ve done was animate the dice a little bit, so it felt more like a roll.

The main structures I used were object literals and arrays. I had a Scoreboard, Game, and Dice object which each had a lot of stuff in them. Each worked by themselves and together to make this game run. The scoreboard handled all the buttons and updates to the scoreboard as it goes. The game held more general stuff for the game to run and operate correctly. And then finally, I tried to keep most of the dice operations and dice storage within the dice class to be more organized.

This was a fun but challenging project. I learned how to work and use object literals as data containers. I used and learned many ways to iterate through arrays, I think I used 3 different styles total. I practiced more in depth with how to work with the DOM through JavaScript. I learned how to store data on the local storage and how to access the data to use later. With that I also learned how to use JSON methods to make the data more easily storable and readable later. This came in handy because I had to keep track of less and was able to turn the data that needed to be saved into an object or string based on whether I was loading or saving. I learned how to test my code and make sure everything was working as intended. I learned more about testing and making sure things are working as intended. Ultimately, I learned how powerful project based learning can be throughout this whole process. Back to Yahtzee
