Fixing the image swap

Today, I worked on getting the game to recognised a correct guess as correct, and swap the image. It can now display the CORRECT number of underlines, recognise a right answer from a wrong one, but it won't swap the underline for a letter image. Once this function is working properly I will format the look of the game, to make it more user friendly.

Displaying Letters

I have decided not to use the choose difficulty and category windows, because they interfere with the running of the main game. I have been working on the displaying of the blank letters on the page, which will be swapped for letters, if the user chooses correctly.

Coding

I have commented out the choose category and difficulty windows for now so I can work on the function of the main game. I am currently rearraging the functions and calling the functions from different parts of the script then I originally thought.

Coding Parent & Child Windows

The choose category and difficulty windows, are child windows of the main game. They should pop up, and when the user clicks on one, it changes a variable in the parent window. I am currently working on the child window functions.

Completed Pseudocode

I have finshed my pseudocode (about 3 pages long) and have started on the actual coding of the javascript. I have decided to keep most of the function names and variable names the same so that it will be easier if there were others owrking on the project, they would be able to work using the function names and such. The pseudocode runs through the code like the javascript should.

I worked on the guess letter function and the win and lose functions. The pseudocode is nearly complete.

More Pseudocode

Today I completed more pseudocode. I am currently working on the guess_letter functions and variables. This function will be part of the pick_word function which, when run, will signal the start of a new game.
