A multiple choice word game where you answer as many questions as you can within a limited amount of time. You get a certain amount of points for every correct answer you select. At the end, your points are tallied and given to you.

There's a free Jeopardy API called jservice.io that has almost every Jeopardy question ever asked. I can pull data from this to get questions and answers.

What's being used:

• jservice.io Jeopardy API
• React
• Rails
• Material UI
• Axios
• Webpacker

Main Features:

• Multiple choice game
• Each question is worth a set amount of points
• A timer that counts down
• A leaderboard that you can add your name to when the game is done

Stretch Features:

• Seconds are added to the timer for each correct answer
• Use the category feature to supply deceptively similar answers to choose from.
• Points are lost for every wrong answer

The data from the Jeopardy API is kind of dirty so I'll have to clean and format it before I can use it, but other than that the API's pretty fun to use and has a very verbose amount of information about each question. I think this will be fun!
