#142That was fun. Definitely on its way to becoming a MECC-style game and getting kids to crowd around the computer in the back of the classroom. Rocking vanilla JS, too, like a boss. Good on ya, kid.

#143When I was 10 I released a HyperCard based app for the Macintosh that was a Virtual Journal program. Shareware. I got $2 checks from all around the world.

#144Amazing. Younger people (and people new in any field) often think of intersting approaches without the blessing/curse of "best practices." The process for creating the game was very good and very logical way to learn a new field. I would recommend a couple of small things for the code. Variable names are usually ALL_CAPS if they never change (for instance const PI =3.142) and camelCaseForOtherVariables. snake_case_va…
Agree 100%. Since dad helped, I was expecting to see sprites sheets, or some JS classes for some OOP, etc. Was pleasantly surprised to see how "simple" the approach was for such fun output with a decent amount of variety.
He doesn't understand what a sprite is, or really the motivation behind sprite sheets. To him they're just animated images he made in a tool. Internally he switches the "costumes" of characters (terminology he got from Scratch I believe).

#145I found it very satisfying when the opponent got a question wrong. Math is hard, even when you’re an awesome monster like a flying snake or black hole. I didn’t understand the “charging” mechanic. A little more explanation or some visual that shows charging would help. Pretty sweet game! Keep it up!
Appreciate the feedback!

#146A tip to those playing: You don't have to wait for the enemy to attack before you go again. You can spam your attacks. Combat pauses while you answer the question so take your time doing the math, but you want to select your next attack very quickly so you can do more attacks than your enemy.

#149Great game! I'm not sure what's happening when the opponent makes a move. Also not sure why i'm losing healthHP when I seemingly score points for getting a correct answer.
Its a turn based game, but turn order isn't enforced. So it gets confusing if you attack out of your turn.

#150Fun game. Just a couple of nits: 1. I'd like some indicator of when a move is "charged up" instead of having to click on it. 2. In the dialog for the message "The move you want to use is not charged up yet.Click 'ok' and then select another move." the button actually says "close" not OK. Overall well done though!
Appreciate the feedback!
