Hangman game

What are you most proud of, and what would you do differently next time?

What am I most proud of:

1.Implementing Keyboard Navigation: Adding keyboard navigation to enhance the user experience.

2.Dynamic Category and Word Selection: Implementing a feature that ensures no repeated words within a session.

3.Responsive Design: Making the game responsive across different devices was a challenge, and I learned how to use mixins and @include.

4.State Management with NgRx: Successfully managing game state using NgRx Store.

What would I do differently next time:

1.Plan for Deployment Early: Understanding the requirements for deploying to GitHub Pages or any other platform early in the development process could save time and prevent last-minute issues.

2.Optimize CSS and Assets: Ensure that my SCSS and assets are optimized to avoid exceeding size budgets, which can affect performance and deployment.

3.Thorough Testing on All Platforms: Conduct more thorough testing on different devices and browsers to catch and fix issues related to responsiveness and compatibility.

4.Accessibility Enhancements: Focus more on accessibility to ensure the game is usable by a broader audience, including those with disabilities.

What challenges did you encounter, and how did you overcome them?

Keyboard Navigation in the Category Component:

Challenge: Implementing keyboard navigation for selecting categories was particularly challenging due to the need to manage focus and ensure a smooth user experience.

Solution: I overcame this by using Angular’s @HostListener to listen for keyboard events and dynamically setting focus on the category elements. This required a good understanding of Angular’s event handling and element manipulation.

What specific areas of your project would you like help with?

While I added keyboard navigation, there may be additional accessibility features that could make the game more inclusive, such as ARIA labels, better focus management, and support for screen readers.

I would be happy to get guidance on best practices for accessibility.
