This project was about using javascript to create an interactive quiz that would present new questions, initiate a timer, keep track of correct and incorrect answers, and store the user's score and initials. I used functions to define data-labels on the answer buttons, allowing each question to set the button with it's corresponding correct answer. This information was called upon to keep count of the user's correct and incorrect answers. At the end of the quiz, the user is presented with a form for them to enter their initials. The submission of the form will first append their initials and number of correct answers to a highscores list, and then return the user to the landing page where they can select to take the quiz again.
- The landing page will display a welcome card, along with the scoreboard. When the user clicks the 'Begin' button, the function that begins the question prompt will be called, and the welcome card will be replaced with the questions card
- Upon starting, a timer is set to count down from 50 seconds
- The user is then prompted with the first question, along with a list of buttons that provide a multiple choice list of answers for the user to select from. Each question is its own function that sets the prompt along with the answers and the correct/incorrect state for each button
- if the user selects correctly, their correct score is incremented
- if they select incorrectly, their incorrect score is incremented and 10 seconds are removed from the timer
- The quiz is over when either the user answers all questions or the timer runs out
- The card that holds the questions will be replaced with an 'after-action' card that outputs the user's final number of correct answers along with the form for their initials.
- Upon submitting the form, the user's score and initials will be appended to the highscores list, and the after-action card will be replaced with the welcome card
