A multiple choice code quiz
GIVEN I am taking a code quiz WHEN I click the start button, THEN a timer starts and I am presented with a question
I was able to use the .classList.add() and .classList.remove() to move from the start screen to the quiz to the high score page.
WHEN I answer a question, THEN I am presented with another question
an addEventListener watches for the user input and compares it against the index of the correct answer in the answer array property of the current question. The feedback at the bottom shows a positive or negative message depending on if the answer is correct or not.
WHEN I answer a question incorrectly, THEN time is subtracted from the clock
a simple if/else statement makes sure that if the user chooses an incorrect answer, the seconds-- takes an additional second off the timer.
WHEN all questions are answered or the timer reaches 0, THEN the game is over
This again is handled by simple if/else statements.
WHEN the game is over, THEN I can save my initials and score
The high score screen uses the localStorage to store the current score and and name. the leaderboard gets the name and score from localStorage.
I found the classList.add() and .remove() particularly helpful in conjuction with the hide class in my css. It made transitions between screens easy. I also learned more about calling properties of objects in an array. Particularly in combining the correct index number from the questions.c in a variable and then comparing it with the user choice in the if/else statement.

No source code was given, however, I did receive help from askBCS and TA Diego.
