Submitted by: Jeff Chen
Time spent: 3 hours spent in total

The following required functionality is complete:
- Game interface has a heading (h1 tag), a line of body text (p tag), and four buttons that match the demo app
- "Start" button toggles between "Start" and "Stop" when clicked.
- Game buttons each light up and play a sound when clicked.
- Computer plays back sequence of clues including sound and visual cue for each button
- Play progresses to the next turn (the user gets the next step in the pattern) after a correct guess.
- User wins the game after guessing a complete pattern
- User loses the game after an incorrect guess
The following optional features are implemented:
- Any HTML page elements (including game buttons) has been styled differently than in the tutorial
- Buttons use a pitch (frequency) other than the ones in the tutorial
- More than 4 functional game buttons
- Playback speeds up on each turn
- Computer picks a different pattern each time the game is played
- Player only loses after 3 mistakes (instead of on the first mistake)
- Game button appearance change goes beyond color (e.g. add an image)
- Game button sound is more complex than a single tone (e.g. an audio file, a chord, a sequence of multiple tones)
- User has a limited amount of time to enter their guess on each turn
The following additional features are implemented:
- List anything else that you can get done to improve the app!
Here's a walkthrough of implemented user stories:

If you used any outside resources to help complete your submission (websites, books, people, etc) list them here. I used the following websites: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Math/random For how to use Math.random https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css_colors.asp For CSS colors

What was a challenge you encountered in creating this submission (be specific)? How did you overcome it? (recommended 200 - 400 words) When implementing my 5th and 6th button, I struggled to find out why they weren't lighting up when the random sequence was playing. This was because when I copy and pasted over the structure in the css files for the other buttons, I failed to change the #button.lit attribute to the correct button numbers. I soon found this out when I was debugging and looking through my code however, and changing the values to the correct ones instantly fixed it.
-
What questions about web development do you have after completing your submission? (recommended 100 - 300 words) I would like to learn more about how other animations are used in certain websites, such as smooth transitions when moving to different parts of a website, or when the user hovers over a dropdown menu. I have always been interested in learning how to do those kinds of styling options, and doing this project has made me exicted to continue learning web development.

If you had a few more hours to work on this project, what would you spend them doing (for example: refactoring certain functions, adding additional features, etc). Be specific. (recommended 100 - 300 words) If I had longer to work on this project, I would add more of the additional functionality, as well as implement a more unique styling. The reason I named my game "Jeff" was because I was basing it off of the original game "Simon", and I thought using another first name for it would be a fun spin off. I would have liked matched the styling to be more similar to the original game, with the buttons all in a circle, and have the buttons be shaped similarly to the original game.
