Node Hangman

This week’s project returns to Node programming, so there’s no deployment or GUI. The project requirements including creating a game of Hangman using exported JavaScript Constructors as the main drivers of the app. User input was required to be handled with the Inquirer package.

Before starting, I knew I wanted to pull movie titles from the OMDB API instead of creating an array of my own puzzles. Since this would be outside of the normal promise of Inquirer, I needed to make sure it loaded the returned data before moving forward with the code. I added a few fun messages while you wait.

To accomplish the goal of creating modular code that can be re-used, I was able to lift the Big Letters from the LIRI app and use them again here without editing any of the original code. I’m quite pleased with the results!

As a server side app without a client-side export, this doesn't actually have a live deployment. If you want to play it for yourself, visit my portfolio (http://www.fullstacksteve.com/portfolio/node-hangman/), download the code, and follow the instructions in the README file to get started. It's tons of fun!
