Description
This is a Stranger Things themed word guess game. If you’re a fan of the show, take a stab at it! You’ve got 6 guesses each round, and you can listen to the theme song while you play. Staying true to the theme, I was inspired by the 80s arcade period pulling the neon colors directly from the poster itself.
This game is both desktop and mobile friendly with a slightly different UI for each. To accommodate for the JavaScript on-keypress event that works for Desktop apps, I had to create keys for each letter in the alphabet for touch-screen users on mobile devices.
Because the mobile version has a keyboard, I used JavaScript to change the color of the letter already guessed for users to keep track of their guesses. As a result this replaces the “Guesses” box you would see on the desktop version.
