Week 06 Day 2 - Do you want to build a Snowman?

Do you want to build a Snowman?

In this assignment, you'll build a less grim variation of a popular game:

Objectives

• Reinforce component architecture in React
• Effective use of props and state in React

Requirements

Work in groups of 2 or 3 for this project. You should turn in 1 repository that contains commits from each team member.

We're going to build a sort of reverse hangman. The player can't lose; they just get to build a snowman by adding parts each time they guess a letter correctly. You will need to download these files and add them to your project:

1. Word List
2. Snowman Images (Unzip these before adding to your project)

Explorer Mode

• [ ] Selects a random word from the list and display a number of blank spaces (or underscores) equal to the word length.
• [ ] Display a list of letters, A through Z as clickable buttons.
• [ ] When the player guesses a letter (clicks the button):
  • [ ] All instances of that letter are revealed at their corresponding positions in the word.
  • [ ] The button becomes disabled, as it has already been guessed.
  • [ ] Display the snowman image that corresponds with the number of letters revealed in the word.

Adventure Mode

• [ ] After the word has been completed, offer the player to play again. Reset the state of the game without a page reload.

Epic Mode

Refactor the game to play like a traditional "hangman" game:

• [ ] If the chosen letter is not part of the word, the snowman "grows"; increase a counter by one for each incorrect guess.
• [ ] If the snowman is completed (counter reaches 7) before the word is completed, the player loses, and the snowman wins.
