Adventure Mode

Epic Mode

• [ ] Explore C# some more by creating a simple number guessing game.

Turning In

Your homework will be assigned to you via issues on your assignments repository. Once you are

These steps will be followed for almost every assignment going forward. Once you've completed at least explorer mode and you're satisfied with your work, let's get it published. First let's get it up on GitHub.

• First, let's add all our work to git, and ask it to commit it:

  git add .
  git commit -m "My first webpage"

  Feel free to replace "My first webpage" with a more meaningful message.

• Push our local commits to GitHub:

  git push -u origin master

  The -u option tells git we want to making pushing the master branch to origin the default, so next time, we can just type git push.

Once you are completely, go to the issue on our assignments repository, leave the link the repo of your work, and close the issue. I will not know you are down until you close the issue.

Finalized Jeopardy game: https://github.com/katerigney/assignments/issues/15

I was able to fix issue one after lecture. Still can't figure a solution around issue two but the page does reload. I tried to run repeat $http GET function within resetGame function but there is an error with pushing to thisGameCategories again."
