  Thanks Matt!

  I didn't feel like I had a very robust structure to the underlying logic. I sort of put it together as I went along without any real pattern. And solving the styling problems in tandem with the flow exhausted me and I ran out of steam to do the final polish.

  Next time I'll do it without UI first and then style it afterwards.

  @markup-mitchell yeah, separating out the workflow like that is a great approach. I typically complete the HTML first before moving on to anything else. For this type of project, I'd go:

  1. Complete HTML structure
  2. Basic CSS to hide/show stuff
  3. JS to get the logic of the game
  4. Once it's all working, I'd then dive into the CSS to make it look good

  Taking this approach lets you get into a flow with each phase and can boost productivity. At least, that's what I find! 🙂

  Hey Mark, what is it that you're not happy about with your solution? I think you've done a good job!

  Coming back to projects in the future is always a great way to see how far you've come as a developer. Refactoring old projects to improve the code is also a great thing to practice. Keep up the great work!

  I'm not tremendously happy with this - there are lots of little niggles that should be worked out, but there's a real law of diminishing returns involved.

  I might try again with a different stack at some point, and do some better thinking up front about how the app logic should be structured.
