PP8: Passed the code through PP8 validator and no bugs were founded.
-
Given invalid inputs: numbers when numbers were expected and out of bound inputs.
- PP8
- The code in run.py file was successfull and there were no errors
- The code in snowman.py file had a certain amount of trailing whitespace in ascii character which hasn't been fixed. The whole ascii character should have been modified to remove this syntax error. Due to limited amount of, I was not able to fix it. Although this syntax error doesn't effect the overall of the website.
- This site is not fully responsive in the mobile devices.
- You can run this site in a PC.
- PP8

Trailing whitespace:
- Trailing whitespace is any spaces or tabs after the last non-whitespace character on the line until the newline.
- I encoutred this syntax error, and solved it by deleting extra spaces from the end of the lines.
-
continuation line over-indented for visual indentflake8(E127)
- A continuation line is indented farther than it should be for a visual indent. source
- The characters in the line was greater than 79 therefore, I put the half of the code from that line to another.
- The error was due to one indtetion.
- Solved it by deleting the indentation.
- module level import not at top of file pp8:
- A comment was given between imports, which caused this error.
- Solved by removing the comment, source
This site was developed in Gitpod and deployed using Code Institute's mock terminal for Heroku.
- Steps for deployment:
- Go to Heroku website
- create a new Heroku app
- Settings -> set the buildbacks to Python and Nodejs consecutively
- Settings -> Create a Config Var called PORT, Set this to 8000
- Deploy -> Link the Heroku app to github repository
- Deploy -> select enable automatic deploy or |deploy branch -> Deploy|
- click open app from the menu to go to live website
Thanks to my mentor Rohit Sharma and Code Institute family who helped me throughout this project.
- The whole idea of the project was taken from video although the features and code has been changed according to the game.
- Ascii art was taken from the below website, but it was modified according to the need:
- The list of random words were taken from Stakoverflow
- The idea for time.sleep() was taken from freeCodeCamp
- Replacing dashed with letter were taken from stackoverflow2 stackoverflow2 and it was modifided.
