Homework 1: MadLib

Short Description:

Write a program that allows a user to play a mad lib.

This assignment is worth 5 points.

Goals

When you finish this homework, you should

Worked with a very simple javascript program.
Established your work environment for the class.

Formal Description

Read chapter 1 of Eloquent Javascript, Fourth Edition.

In addition, it might be useful to know that this script:

<script type="text/javascript">
let note = "Hello from the Script!";

document.write("<p>", note, "<p>");
</script>

Produced this output

See this example

Write a very simple mad lib game. At a minimum, use the prompt command to get input and the document.write example above to produce output. If you know more html and javascript, you may do other things as well.

You may make up or find your own story for the mad lib, or you might consider using one of these free very short stories..

Your mad lib must have at least three different words or phrases that you request from the user. For example if you use The Bat And The Weasels Fable you might allow the user to provide alternatives for bat, weasel, bird and mouse. This would allow the user to create the story of The Elephant and the Bacteria. Did you know Bacteria are enemies of an Emu?

Please keep your stories rated PG or lower.

I expect this program to be written at the CM(AC/AS) 1240 program 2 level. If you know javascript, or want to work ahead, please use an array or map, but this is by no means required.

If you are unfamiliar with Mad Libs, see the Wikipedia Page.

Documentation

Please use relative references to your code in the html file. This will allow me to extract the file in my local environment.

Please submit two linked html files.

The first provides

an introduction to the game
assignment information (name, class, homework ...)
sources of the story
a list of collaborators (you should not have any for this assignment)
a list of problems, questions, ...
a link to the game.

The second page implements the game.

Additional Requirements/Comments

I expect you to build your code based on my examples.

Extras
