My version of the game of Hangman. An exercise in writing a web app/game using JavaScript. View the demo.
Table of Contents
- Written in ECMAScript2015 / ES6 - and compiled back to ES5 using Babel
- Styled using PostCSS - because I prefer it to SASS
- Bundled using Webpack - which compiles all code and assets into a single JavaScript file
- Responsive
- Chooses a random word from an array of pre-defined words - can be changed in src/app/config.js
- Multiple pages / views - (loading, start, game, win and lose)
- Anti-cheat - the 'win' screen is only accessible after successfully completing a word
- Capture 404 pages / missing views and redirect them to the 'start' screen
- Pull the repo down to your machine
- Run
npm installto install dependencies
That's all there is to it. Once the above command has completed, Webpack will automatically compile a production-ready version under the games dist directory. Just open the dist/index.html file in your browser to run the game locally.
As you can probably tell, Node/NPM are required.
If you plan to change or further develop the game you'll need to to be aware of the following commands:
webpack --watch- watches source files and re-compiles them as and when they changewebpack --p- generates a new, production-ready version of the game
