Description

Our create task is a game that will allow the user 5 attempts to guess a country and throughout those 5 attempts will give them 4 hints. After the 5 attempts, the game ends if they didn’t guess correctly, however, if there is a correct guess then the game will tell the user that they have won.

Crossover Comments for Create Task by Jean Kim

Interesting create performance task that captures all of the requirements
Video also meets all the requirements
List is important because it stores the names of the different countries
Secondary list to organize the countries by continent
Has 2 calls to the list with conditions, so that meets the requirements for written response 3d
Overall, create performance task is very interesting and engaging for the user because it is a fun game that is applicable

Features:

input bar for the guessing of the countries
A Guess button to send the guess through the system and output correct or incorrect
A Clear button to clear the input bar of your current guess
A New button to start a new game with a new country
4 hints: 1. The first letter, 2. The last letter, 3. The number of letters, 4. The continent the country is on
If correct, there will be a popup indicating that the user was correct and telling the user how many attempts it took. If not correct after 5 tries, the popup will tell the user what the answer was.

The user can test their ability at guessing countries or learn the names of new countries that they’d previously never heard of.

Possible Other Ideas

We could add facts about the different countries if you guess the correct and if you guess them wrong at the end of each game so you could be learning something new about the different countries that you are guessing. We could also show an outline of the country, so the user can guess based on that.

Questions

Isaac

3a. i. The program is a game where the user inputs guesses to try and determine a randomly generated country. The user can use this to test their ability at guessing countries or find out about countries they never even knew about before.

ii. In the video, different guesses were inputted and for each guess, a new hint was given. When the answer was guessed correctly, the popup told the user that they were correct and told the user how many guesses it took. When the user was incorrect after 5 tries, a popup told the user that they were incorrect and told them the correct answer.

iii. The input of the program by the user is the country they guess. The output is a new hint for each time the user guesses and is incorrect. If the user is correct, the output is a popup that tells the user that they were correct and how many attempts it took. If the user is wrong for 5 tries, the output is a popup telling the user what the actual answer was.

iii) The name of the list is country

iv) The data in the list is the different names of countries around the world, which are represented by country[number].

v) Without this list the program wouldn’t run because we wouldn’t have the names of the countries that we are trying to guess so there wouldn’t be any countries in the game. Also, by doing a list of country[number] to represent each country, we are able to easily randomize it and select a country as what the user has to guess.

ii) ` <input type=button class=td2 value=Guess! onClick=guessit()title=”Click here to get a hint or check your guess.”>`

iii) This procedure obtains and stores the correct country as the answer and gives the user 5 attempts to guess with a hint after each wrong attempt. It also tells the user if they have won or if they have lost at the end.

iv) The procedure take a random country out of the list of countries and stores it as the correct answer. You are then given 5 attempts to guess a country and after each attempt you give the player a hint. If the user guesses the correct answer in the set amount of tries, then a message will pop up saying that the user has won and ask if they want to play again. If the user can’t get the correct answer in the set amount of tries, then a message will pop up saying that the user has lost, giving them the correct country, and asking if they want to play again.

3d.

i) First Call: Calls to the procedure guessit so that the user can get whether or not they got their guess correct or wrong and displaying the correct messages or giving the correct hints.

Second Call: Calls to the procedure new game so that the user can start a new game if they want obtaining a new country as the right country and starting the game all over again.

ii) First Call: If the guess is correct, wrong, and how many attempts there have been so far in the game

Second Call: Determine if the user clicked yes or no to restart the game

iii) First Call: If the guess is correct, a win message will display to the user and ask if they want a new game. If the guess is wrong and the number of attempts is less than 5 then a hint will appear. If the guess is wrong and the number of attempts is 5 and over then the game will tell the user the country and will ask if they want to play a new game.

Second Call: If the user clicked yes the guessit function will run again giving the user a new country that they can guess for. If they user clicked no then the guessit function will not run again and the user will stay on the same country and page that they are currently on.
