For your consideration, my approach to your technical assignment :).
This project was bootstrapped with Create React App.
The challenge was to build a simple 'hangman' game
-
Time Expected: 4 hours
-
Real Time: 8 hours divided between different days
- Chooses a random word out of 6 words: [3dhubs, marvin, print, filament, order, layer]
- Display the spaces for the letters of the word (eg: '_ _ _ _ _' for 'order')
- The user can choose a letter and if that letter exists in the chosen word it should be shown on the puzzle (eg: asks for 'r' and now it shows '_ r _ _ r' for 'order')
- The user can only ask 5 letters that don't exist in the word and then it's game overIf the user wins, congratulate the user and save their high score (you are free to define what is a “high score”)
Additional requirements:
- Provide a simple API for clients to play the game
- Provide an interface for users to play the game
- Extract my current poor mock fetching api to a real one (json server or firebase)
- Definitely I will add more unit tests (I know shame of me :'( )
- Refactor Game component, extracting some of the functionalities in custom hooks, is not the best to read
- Improve design and UX, so far there is no 'man hanging' himself :P
In the project directory, you can run:
Install all the dependencies
Runs the app in the development mode.
Open http://localhost:3000 to view it in the browser.
Launches the test runner in the interactive watch mode.
See the section about running tests for more information.
Builds the app for production to the build folder.
It correctly bundles React in production mode and optimizes the build for the best performance.
The build is minified and the filenames include the hashes.
Your app is ready to be deployed!
