Solution retrospective


This challenge was completed a while ago, I just forgot to submit it.

My first try using tailwind. This challenge is probably the worst to try tailwind for the first time lol. Especially considering that I wanted to have a game-like feel with smooth animations. Also I didn't use anything like classnames to properly merge all the classes, and just used inline ternaries and stuff, so the code looks pretty unreadable :)

Other than tailwind, I used Transition component from Headless UI to make animations and zustand for the state. Much better choice for this project in my opinion would be styled-components for styles, Framer Motion for animations and XState for state.

Although I haven't tried XState in any project yet, I think here it would fit very well. I used their editor to visualize the state flow, and it really helped me. But in order to implement delays between state transitions I had to write seTimeouts in useEffects, which is kinda ugly. With XState it would be done much easier and cleaner.

Maybe I will try to do this challenge again with XState.
