Challenges
General size and complexity of the task given that it was my first real attempt at using JavaScript for a practical purpose without the safety net of having a tutorial to follow. Another challenge was getting to grips with bootstrap and working around barriers ensure I ended up with the look, feel and functionality I had planned.

TopTrumps Site
Educational Site Promoting Game Based Learning
-
Concept
The concept for this site is to provide information about how the card game "TopTrumps" Can be used to engage kids and faciliate learning. The site comprises of three key elements. 1)A game where a user select from a number of decks of cards and can play the game against the computer. 2)A wikipedia style database of various decks. Users also have the option to create their own decks which can then be used in the game. 3)A searchable bank of printables, links and other resources to help educators understand how to use these games to create exciting and meaningful learning experiences for their students. I've explored some features of Neobrutalism on the front end as it was a current design trend at the time of creation as well as being appropraite for the content matter and audience.

Challenges
From the outset this was a build that was ambitious for my existing skill set. It forced me to build a practical working knowledge of Python, MySQL and Flask as it required all of these along with my existing knowledge of HTML, CSS and JavaScript to bring to life my origional vision. The realatively complex (for me) game based section was a particular challenge but provide an incredibly valuable learning experience.
