Congratulations! You're submitting your assignment!

Comprehension Questions

Question	Answer
What patterns were you able to use from your Ruby knowledge to apply to JavaScript?	Using similar control flow with loops and iterations, and just generally knowing how to structure programs.
What was a challenge you were able to overcome on this assignment?	Figuring out javascript scope. I realized I couldn't use an instance variable inside an anonymous forEach function. Thankfully it turned out there was a way to pass in this variables.
What is your favorite thing about learning a new programming language?	I like learning new ways of thinking and new ways of structuring code!
What is your least favorite thing about learning a new programming language?	Figuring out all the weird quirks a language has
Do you have any recommendations on how we could improve this project for the next cohort?	No, I thought it was a good level of challenge.

What We're Looking For

Feature	Feedback
Core Requirements
Git hygiene	Good
Comprehension questions	Yes
General
score calculates score, has appropriate params and return value	Having your score chart set up this requires you do to iterations that you wouldn't have to do if your chart was set up differently - could improve efficiency with a different structure. Nice job figuring out how to scope this within your forEach function.
highestScoreFrom calculates highest scoring word, has appropriate params and return value	Looks good
Player object
Has name and plays properties	Yes - good
Has play, totalScore, hasWon functions	I think the specs for the play function want you to return false if the word isn't played (rather than a string). totalScore and hasWon look good. Nice use of the ternary.
Has highestScoringWord and highestWordScore functions	Good
Overall	Nice job hitting the major learning goals, exploring some corners of JS scope and practicing syntax
