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?	Most problems I face I think about the solution in Ruby and then try to see if I can solve the problem the same way in JS. This approach is helpful in discovering new methods in javascript that we have not covered in class
What was a challenge you faced in this assignment?	I had some issues with scope, for example I had to play around with the tile bag before I was able to access it through the tests and I still don' t think I have the best solution. Debugging is more difficult than with Ruby and I don't feel great about the debugging tool we went over in class, as well. I also constantly forget to add and commit!
Do you have any recommendations on how we could improve this project for the next cohort?	I thought it was a good way to show the class how you can adapt our knowledge to learning a new language. It gave me confidence for facing this again. Maybe having a little more debugging skills would have been helpful.
