Today our goal is to update the function for the final value in our game debug menu which is resolveBet(). Last video we ran into an issue where we tried to nest a question in our debug interface. So what happened was when we selected to set the bet, we needed to then input a […]

Now that we have a game object we need to update all of our existing functions and modify our resolveDice() function so that it doesn’t loop. Here is the new resolveDice() function. Next I need to handle setting the bet and resolving the bet, then work on a game controller. And finally create a web […]

Today we created a game object so we could use the result of the functions we were testing with the other functions. We created some methods to get and set object properties and we added a displayGameObject menu item. And we are now using the gameObject with the set shooter function and it appears to […]

Today I want to finish the functions on the interface and we need to determine how to pass data. I think we need to create a game object to pass into the functions for now until I understand more about scope. Here is what we have left to implement for the first set of functions: […]

Ok, since Creating a Street Dice Game Pt1 I realize I needed a testing interface, and I thought back to DOS batch files. When I was young and everything was run from command line, sometimes you wanted to boot a disk and run a program or you wanted a simple menu on boot and you […]

In this post we are going to do some simple DOM manipulation and take text input and add it to a ul as a li in the browser. We are going to use Bootstrap 4 for our UI and keep it really simple. First we want to get a game plan together, so I map […]

Tracking our thoughts. It is something we all think about doing at one time or another. Myself I have tried to start a journal and keep up with it countless times. I usually get several days in to a couple weeks then move on to something else. I don’t think that is such a bad […]

Yesterday, I learned how to read from a file. Today, I wanted to learn the natural extension of yesterday’s lesson and learn to write to a file! Along the way, I decided I needed to get some input from the command line so I could write dynamic info to my Welcome.txt file. Just like yesterday, […]
