enSeven: Wonderful Word Wizard

Overview

• Wonderful Word Wizard is a simple word guessing game, played by two users, and utilizes socket.io to connect them.
• Requires: Inquirer and Chalk, though Chalk is just there to make the visuals more attractive.
• Uses the inquirer module to handle user input prompts, comparing user input to predetermined values that are initially hidden from the user.
• We use console.log and Inquirer prompts to guide the users.

Functionality

• Words to be guessed are store in an array.
• We split the input word and store it as a variable, giving us an easily indexed position at which to compare values.
• An internal counter is utilized to limit our users to 10 (ten) guesses each.
• After returning the prompt, it calls a function to compare the returned value (guess) to each index of the test array.
• If any letters match, that array position is revealed, otherwise the counter is increased by 1 and the user is instructed to guess again.
• If all letters are guessed correctly within the allotted number of guesses, a 'win' state is returned and the game is ended.
• If all guesses are used up, a 'lose' state is returned and the word is revealed. In both cases, the user is presented with the option to play again.

Stretch Goals

• Permanent Leader-boards.
• Further expand our word category database to include multiple subjects.
