Test your memory skills with this classic '70s memory game!

simon's Issues

Change game name

The game name "Simon" should be abandoned and replaced with a new name. There are multiple reasons to justify the change, one of which is the poor search result optimization. The extension name should have something to do with the word "memory" to ensure that it appears in the search results for people looking for memory games.

Increase pace of game with each level

To make the game more difficult, the pace of the game should increase with each level to make it harder to remember the sequence, much like how other similar memory games work.

Add high score tracking

Allow the extension to use the Storage API to score a high score value.

Add timeout loss

If the user fails to press a button before an allotted amount of time, the game should end. This is how most similar memory games work.

Audio does not play twice

When the same audio clip needs to be played twice in a row, it will not play on the second time. If the same audio is played three times in a row, it will play on the first and third time, but not the second. This happens when the pattern is playing and when the user is pressing the buttons.

This would suggest that JavaScript doesn't think that the clip is done playing. Potentially, the clip is slightly longer than the timeout between the patterns. This should be easy to solve by forcing the previous clip to stop every time a new audio clip is started or by allowing the clips to overlap.

Update audio

The game audio should be changed to a more pleasant sound, instead of the harsh buzzing audio clips.

Add audio volume adjustment

The game should have an audio volume slider to adjust the audio level instead of a basic audio toggle function. This gives the user more control over their experience.

Open game in new tab or new window instead of a popup

Moving the game to a new tab or new window instead of the browserAction popup will prevent the user from accidentally closing the game and losing their current round.

Update for WCAG 2.2 compliance

In an effort to make the content of the internet more accessible to everyone, all of my repositories will be reviewed to ensure that they fulfil the WCAG 2.2 requirements. This will take time. The current goal is to make all projects comply with level AA, including as many level AAA standards as possible.

Items that are bold are new to WCAG 2.2. Items that do not apply to the project will be marked as completed and marked with a strikethrough.

Game UI should be updated

The game UI should be updated for a more modern appearance.

Add support for localization

The add-on can easily be set up to support i18n. Although the add-on is unlikely to be translated any time in the foreseeable future, it can be if someone is willing to.
