robot-gladiators's Issues

Initial game functionality - MVP

Description

Must Have

• Build a game where a players robot can fight another robot until one of them loses.

• If the enemy-robot loses first, the player's robot will move on to fight another enemy-robot.

Features

• The players robot's name can be dynamically created by the player through the browser.

• The player is given the option to skip the fight by paying a penalty, or continue with the fight.

Add shop functionality

Description

• After defeating an enemy, ask the player if they would like to purchase an item from a store.

• The player can purchase health or attack points if they can afford it.

Restructure data with JS objects

Description

• Create and use JavaScript objects to organize data related to the player and data related to the enemies.

• Create object methods to perform player actions.

Add randomness to health and damage values

** Description**

• Start enemies at a random health value between 40 and 60.

• Start enemies with a random attack value between 10 and 14.

• Attack damage is random, using the robots attack value as an upper limit (for example, the player's attack is 10, their damage range is 7-10).

Blank/null response handling for the player-name prompt

Expected Behavior

• If the prompt for the player name is left blank or cancelled, anew prompt should request the player name.

Current Behavior

• If prompt for player name is left blank or cancelled, a new prompt should re request the player name.
• If the prompt for player is cancelled, null is stored as the player's name.

Possible Solution

• Create function function getPlayerName() function that will loop until a valid response can be returned.

Save high score using localStorage

Randomize fight order in the fight() function for each new enemy-robot round

Use integer responses in the shop() function to replace string commands

Mixed-case response and blank/null handling for the fight-or-skip prompt
