THIS IS NOT A BOWLING GAME, IT IS A BOWLING SCORECARD PROGRAM. THE USER INPUTS THE ROLLS.
Count and sum the scores of a bowling game for one player (in JavaScript).
A bowling game consists of 10 frames in which the player tries to knock down the 10 pins. In every frame the player can roll one or two times, apart from in frame 10 when they can have up to 3 rolls. The actual number depends on strikes and spares. The score of a frame is the number of knocked down pins plus bonuses for strikes and spares. After every frame the 10 pins are reset.
In last weekend's challenge I worked through the logic of bowling to create a scorecard tool in Ruby. In the README for that project I discussed the outstanding functionality for my code.
Having previously undertaken the exercise in logic and planning, I have chosen to use this weekend's challenge purely to practice translating code from Ruby to JavaScript, and to practice creating an interactive interface with jQuery.
Whilst the logic of the Ruby code that I had written was mostly sound, it was also convoluted. In order to maximise the time available for the JavaScript & jQuery elements of the challenge, I have used the Ruby code from this video as my start point.
Minimum requirements:
- allows the player to enter their individual rolls
- returns their final score
Nice to have:
- scorecard tells you what frame you are on
- scorecard tells you when the game is over
- returns final scorecard, showing frame by frame rolls
This project has been written in JavaScript, linted with JSHint and tested using Jasmine.
Firstly, you will need to clone the repo:
$ git clone [email protected]:stringiest/bowling-challenge.gitThen use your browser to navigate to 'index.html' in the new bowling-challenge folder that you have created. Follow the instructions on screen.
- Set up Travis CI to run tests in Jasmine.
