The goal of this exercise is to build a game.
The rules of the game are as follows:
- The game board has 8x8 squares (initially, all represented by question marks)
- There are 8 diamonds hidden on the board, each diamond behind one of the squares
- When the user clicks on a square
- If the square was hiding a diamond, the diamond appears
- Otherwise, the square is opened, and blank
- The game ends when all diamonds are found. The user's score is the number of squares still left unturned.
Part II of this problem adds the ability to add hints to empty squares
- When the user clicks on a square
- If the square was not a diamond, then an arrow appears, pointing towards the nearest diamond
- Any arrows that were previously show become hidden
Provided is a simple application which can be used as a starter kit. It contains a simple UI for the above problem. Feel free to add any libraries or frameworks that you believe can help. Unit tests for any logic that the application contains is a bonus.
Requirements:
- node.js (the app was built against v8.1.4, but any node > 6 should work)
- npm
To start the Application:
- Install the dependencies (via
yarn installornpm install) - Compile Assets:
npm run compile - Start the webserver:
npm start - Visit
http://localhost:3000to see the application
If you have done the above steps correctly, you should see the below
If you make a change, run the last two steps above to see it reflected.
You may also choose to try some of the bonus parts of this problem:
- (UI) - Improve the board to semantic html. The default HTML provided uses tables.
- (UI) - Make the UI responsive.
- (Javascript) - Support the ability to save your progress, and load your last save.
- (Javascript) - Cover logic in your application with meaningful tests
- (Infra) - Get hot reloading working
- (Infra) - Get asset pipelining and minification working
