Goals

Use React to build an interactive game that uses data from an API.

Core Project Goals:

• Query a movie API for movie names
• Populate the UI with API data
• Have some form of persistent state and interactivity

Our Goals:

• Hangman game!
• Render a hangman word with underscores
• Guess a letter and if right amend word
• Create counter to track guesses
• Create counter to track guesses
• Connect counter to incorrect guesses
• CSS
• Responsive
• Use create-react-app

Problems

• Connecting counter to only trigger on incorrect guesses
• Uplifting react state
• Showing correctly guessed letters (thanks to Sophia)
• CSS wizardry

Cool stuff we learned

• React and react state
• Using repl-it for difficult algorithms to more easily write and run individual functions.
