This project was initially built in Python several years ago when I was learning the language, and it was played through the terminal. Recently, I decided to recreate it from scratch blindly using JavaScript, HTML, and CSS as it would be more interactive and an overall better project. It also gave me the chance to my understanding of DOM manipulation and general JavaScript. I didn’t focus on CSS on this project, it was mainly to test and improve my DOM manipulation skills. Overall, the project proved to be quite challenging with it taking me a week and a half, mainly due to recurring issues such as double confirmation pop-up notifications, where users had to confirm their actions twice, and also because I have not programmed in OOP in a few months with the last time in Java so it took me time to get used to its syntax. From it, I gained a better understanding of OOP and DOM manipulation in JavaScript.
