The project is the groundwork of a video game review posting site, where the user can both write about games and highlight specific elements of quality. Since I split it across two pages instead of putting it all in one, I used some simple flexbox elements in both the submit card and the review cards.
-
Two-Page Two-Tier App: I created a two-page app for submitting and viewing video game reviews, one page for submitting the reviews and the other for viewing (and deleting) them. Users are automatically redirected to the review feed upon submitting a review, but can also access either page at any time.
-
Review Score Calculation: When submitting a review, on top of writing a blurb describing their thoughts, the user enters four ratings of individual elements of the game (gameplay, story, visuals, and music). When the review is posted, it displays both each indivudal rating as well as an overall rating for the game that takes into account all four elements.
- Review Card Design: Instead of displaying the data enitrely within a table, I decided to display each review in its own card, featuring the title of the game (with the year it released), the blurb review, the individual scores, the date and time the review was posted, and the delete button. This felt like a more logical way of displaying each review, though I also included a table within the card to display the scores.
