Hangman Gameplay In Javascript

I've run into some issues in my JavaScript/jQuery hangman assignment & I can't seem to figure out what the issue is: First off, the spaces don't seem to be showing to indicate

Solution 1:

Hangman

I got it working, I'll do a quick breakdown of what it has and what you need to finish yourself:

Highlights

  • .words-spaces is a dynamic table. It generates a <td> for each letter of the word. Each letter is also placed within it's <td> as well, but they're not visible because they start off in white (same as background). As an extra precaution, I added user-select: none so users can't cheat by highlighting the <td>.

  • .wrongLetter is a table with 10 <td> since that's the maximum amount of wrong guesses before endGame().

  • The keypress portion wouldn't work because it was calling gamePlay(space) function that didn't exist.

  • There were a couple of places that had malformed selectors as well (ex. missing dots on classes)

ToDo

  • It can't handle multiple occurrences of a letter (ex. it'll recognize the first "l" in the word baudrillard and it'll ignore the second "l".)

  • Hmmm...I thought there was more than that. I guess not...

There's a fiddle and a snippet have fun.
