Please give feedback for my project!

Hi! I've made a Javascript Game. I will be showing this to my interviewer in two weeks time! If you have any feedback and advice please let me know!

It's created with javascript and JQuery, with CSS <div>(s) for the layout. The scoreboard is done with PHP and MYSQL.

It's located here: http://www.markvongyer.com/games_pages/island.php

Equally if you have any questions feel free to ask!

Hi Mark,

I think you did a great job! It is a nice little game and I think it is a great way to show off your skills. (I might even try something similar my self...) There are a few things I ran into while playing:

  • Although the general idea of the game speaks for it self I missed a short tutorial at the beginning. I think I lost a lot of survivors because I didn't know I had to put them to work...
  • The amount of 'free' survivors that can be assigned is not updated when a new day starts or when people die.
  • If there's an event happening each day is there a point in saying so all the time?
  • I keep losing survivors, but I'm not sure why. Maybe there's a way to make that more clear? I did find the tombstone info.

Again: I think you did a great job. Good luck with the interview!
