You can navigate to Beat the House by clicking here. The game is simple: Match the three drums and you win. Its pretty hard though. A simple Win condition test method has been built in: Press the "reset" button then press the "stop" button. All drum symbols will be set to "A" and text will appear above the buttons saying "You Win".
Truthfully, this wasnt supposed to be the extent of the game, however, I vastly overestimated my abilities and knowledge. I lost much time.
- One Button Operation: Remove all other buttons and have one button for both "spin" and "stop".
- Point System: Add a point system that keeps track of points (or money); Have different point values for the symbols.
- Detect two matching symbols: add functionaity to detect when only two symbols are matching; add points accordingly.
- House fights back: "the house" takes points from you everytime you dont match any symbols.
- Images !== text: Use images to represent symbols instead of text.
