Meeting Announcements & Notes, Web Page Basics

November 3, 2017 Meeting

Dissect the Typography Game

We are looking forward to tonight’s meeting at 25N where we will be taking a deeper dive into the inner workings of the typography game.

Explore the answers to these questions and more:

  • What happens when the user enters the URL into the Browser? How does the Browser process the request? How does it integrate the styles in the CSS file and the code in the JavaScript file with the HTML elements on the page? 
  • How does clicking a button or pressing a key cause something to happen on the Web page? The keydown and click events!  What is an event listener? What is an event handler? What is a keycode? Reference: Keycode lookup
  • How do we define a single object that can represent either the player or the “bad guy” in the game? Define a function that is used as an object constructor; within the function define methods such as “move” and “setSpeed”.  Use the keyword “new” to create named instances of the class – “hero” and “enemy”. Use those named instances to control the players. Examples: hero.move()  or enemy.setSpeed(speed * 23)
