JavaScript Project Study:Four Steps To Build A Simple Guessing Number Game

So far I have learned some basic JavaScript language such as conditional keywords, logical operators, and built-in methods.

Today, we will build a simple guessing number game by applying those JS basic language.

Basically, the game is ask user to guess a number, if the number is match to the secret number, they win the game. If not, they will have to try again.

Step One: Create a simple HTML page and Link to the JS file

I start to build a simple HTML page and give a title "Guessing Game" for it. Then, I create a separate JS file named "game.js", and link to the HTML page.

Step Two: Create Secret Number and Prompt Question

In the JS file, I start to create a secretNumber which is 6. Six is a lucky number in China which means everything goes well as you wish.

Then I ask a prompt question:"Guess A Number", so user will enter a number.

Step Three: If users enter the right number, they will receive a message

It is conditional, so I use if keyword. Since the variable "guess" is a string type value, it won't equal to the number value "secretNumber". Therefore, we need to convert the string to number by writing Number(guess) === secretNumber.

Then, I create a alert message to tell the users that they guess right.

Step Four: If the number is too high or too low, guess again.

I use a else if keyword to set the Number (guess) is greater than secretNumber. And I also write the else keyword which set any number lower than secret number condition.

If a user guesses a higher number, it will alert him to try again.

If a user guesses a lower number, it will alert him to try again.

Link Style Step One: Touch a Separate CSS file I create a new directory "Style" under the "EJSDemo" directory, then I add a new CSS file "app.css" inside "Style" folder.

Intro to Backend: Is Browser The Only Place To Send HTTP Request?

Today, I begin to learn the second part of web develop course: backend. Frontend is the stuff that we can see and interactive with, such as HTML, CSS, and JS. We can type our code, style our page, or write some function to make interaction. However, backend is everything else. For example, we type Target web address in the Internet Browser. As we hit "enter", there are a few steps to go through: 1. The HTTP request is sent to a particular server's IP address. 2. The server figures out what to send us 3. It sends a HTTP response back to us Those process we are hard to see, and it happens in less than one second. The instructor said that the browser is not the only place to send the HTTP request, and there are so many choices out there. In this learning course, we are going to use Postman App . Postman allows us to make HTTP requests and viewer responses. It is really for developers to understand how things are working or debug something. In the P...

Intermediate CSS: Three Steps To Create A Photo Gallery

I have seen many image blogs these years. People love to post their photos online to express life and feeling. Image is powerful because it could bring a visual story to audience. People can see what you see, and may be feel the same way as you feel, too. If we want to build our own photo gallery, what should we do? Luckily, the boot-camp instructor just showed me how to use HTML and CSS to create a simple photo gallery. I would love to share my study note here. (p.s. all the image links are provided by Udemy course instructor) Step One: Add Image Links on HTMLPage The instructor provides all the image links. All we need to do is add those links inside the <img> tag. Without CSS, the page will looks like this: they are not organized, and sizes are different, too. Step Two: Set Image Property Values We set the width of each photo the same value which is 30%, so there will be three images per line. The percentage value can help...
