GA - Project 1 - Sonny Says

For our first project, we had to create a game. The purpose of this project was to test everything we'd learned so far: html, css, javascript logic, and dom manipulation.

My game is called Sonny Says. As you might have guessed, it's Easter themed!

Once you click the start button, Sonny the Bunny highlights a body part. When it's your turn, you have to repeat the highlighted part. This back and forth continues each round until you either get the sequence wrong, or you make it to level 10 where you win 😃!   

I like to go into a project with a side goal of challenging myself at something. I decided to push my understanding of css animations. So, I figured 'hey, Simon Says is pretty easy, I'll do that.' Simon Says is not easy. The logic behind it is fairly complex. My other thought was 'there are a bunch of Simon Says games online, if I get stuck I can reference any one of those'. Wrong again Lisa. All of those games use jQuery and I had no idea what they were talking about. 

But at the end of a couple of frustrating days sprinkled with some tears, I made it! The game works! There are a few bugs I have to hammer out (when I eventually remember what free time feels like). Check it out here and tell me what you think!

My game even inspired Kurt to create his own version using Richard Simmons...
