This personal project developed my skills in HTML/CSS, JavaScript, and Handlebars.js. Life game is a simple game based on luck and inspired by the board games which I loved playing as a kid. Players make the choice of going to college or starting a career, draw cards for their job, and roll a simulated dice to land on fun outcomes. I took a page out of some of my favorite sit-coms and romantic comedies for the “spaces” that a player can land on.
Some potential future additions include using a point system to keep track of score. This proved difficult to implement with vanilla Javascript, so perhaps using a framework such as React would be better. Having more choices in the game would also improve it so there is more interactivity.
