So Ive worked on the Java script and fixed some more bugs on my game. I didnt have time to put a scoreboard or fix the tiny bugs like Clues and HInts but it works. I even replaced the trivia questions. I got an A on this project.

good stuff!

ok, so its hang-man or whatever, but with italian job related words. some problems i see (i will try to be nice and keep it to things that mightbe easy to fix and that might help):

-no pictures of minis

-no way to actually guess the word (have to just keep spelling it out...)

-no way to keep track of score

-keep track of rounds (maybe you build up your leftover attempts and can use them as the game gets more difficult?)

-perhaps have a clue with each mystery phrase so its not just completely random hangman, but more like wheel of fortune?

- when i checked the answer, i just got a JS alertbox pop up for each letter.. not helpful, and annoying. didnt say which ones were missing or not missing...

 

I think i like the idea of using the haynes manual better... maybe you can work some other types of game into it... involving images / diagrams from the haynes?? other than that, I understand that it is a great way to learn javascript, but not sure about the practical application of using it to learn about mini stuff... most of us do that in the shop with a wrench and a pilsner....

good luck, and don't worry about it not working in IE. that's the expected behaviour

I apologize if this doesn't work on IE or if it's not the proper italian job movie. The game is still in the works but just wanted to share. its only done in about 6 hours so far so a lot can still be improved. 

Right now it is currently tested on Google Chrome with java script enabled.

I clicked on the link, realised it wasn't about the proper Italian Job film and backed out.

Good morning! Im a web and graphics design student here in San Diego, CA and I'm designing a game in java script for my school finals. I thought I'd create a classic mini word trivia game like Hangman. it's working through Google chrome but have not tested for Firefox. I haven't created a score board but it works. 

I'm thinking of changing it eventually to a general knowledge game for classic minis based on the Haynes manual  instead of The italian Job movie trivia so tell me what you guys think.

should be a fun way to learn about the classic mini 

Again there's no score board yet but you can suggest fun facts and I will add it. Have a great day everyone.

Heres the link:

*the hint/clues needed updating btw
