hangman game

Unfortunately, Heroku very recently deleted databases as a result of the termination of free plans, and this site was a victim of that, so the site is currently in the process of being redeployed


Online Hangman


This is an online Hangman game with a twist. There are different themes you can utilize, which correspond to certain categories of words and fun unique outfits for the man. There is also a two-player option, so you can play with a friend, and a leaderborad, so you can compete to achieve the highest scores. I collaborated on this project with two other team members during a summer internship with CDK Global.

Technologies/skills employed:

HTML: forms the structure of the webpage
CSS: manages all the styling, thematic elements, fonts, etc.
JavaScript: chooses the word to guess, alerts when user's guess is correct or not, updates the man, end game functionality, etc.
PHP: stores highscores for the leaderboard
IntelliJ IDEA: IDE used for almost all of the website development
JIRA: used to manage/assign tasks and keep track of deadlines
Heroku: platform used to deploy/host the site and backend server
Collaboration: I worked in a team of three, so we had to communicate, delegrate, and compromise in order to develop a solid deliverable
Problem Solving: There was a five-week timeframe for completion, and the languages were new at the time, so we had to utilize the Problem-Solving Process to ensure we were debugging and overcoming roadblocks in the most efficient way
