Design Process

The Bomb is Ticking!!! The game is designed to pressure you and immerse you in some way of what
Bomb Squad Technicians experience when performing their dangerous jobs. The user interface only contains few elements
for you to be able to focus on the game itself you need to match the random characters above
to gain points and reset the timer. Different Gamemodes comes with different features and rules.
Manual / Tutorial
The main challenge of the game is you need to match the random characters generated above in order to score,
the app will automatically detect if you matched the characters above and will immediately generate a
new random symbols and clear the input field. 2 gamememodes are available in the game

6️⃣0️⃣s Special gamemode where you need to score as much as you can in just 60s!

easy (more time / less characters) to hard (more characters / less time)

Developer Notes
Whole Development Process Timelapse
The game source code is on github if you want to create a copy of the game for your own or contribute to the game itself.
Game Source Code (Github)
Main Programming Languages Used
• HTML – DOM
• CSS – STYLE
• JavaScript/Jquery – DOM manipulation and Game Logic
Functional Programming is the paradigm used to create this Game
Game logic – The game uses the javascript Math.random() function to create a random index and get the value of that
index in an array where all possible characters are stored. different game modes will set different string lengths to
be displayed and matched by the use in the game

For the timer, it is set using the setInterval function and the function clears and resets after
losing/finishing/gaining the point. Different game modes will set different parameters for the timer
on how the timer will behave and how much time is given. Static files are managed in a Discord CDN where
we can access images and sound files through the internet you can download them yourself by inspecting the elements of the html file.
Vantajs made the interactive flying birds background possible
