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?	A lot of how I thought about my code is trying to translate Ruby Scrabble code into JS, since the most important thing to me was to learn the JS syntax.
What was a challenge you were able to overcome on this assignment?	I had to look up everything. JS just doesn't come with much built in "magic". For example, I tried using Math.max to calculate highest scored word, but I couldn't figure it out so I worked around that approach in the end. Or maybe it does, but I just don't know enough JS to be able to tell ?
What is your favorite thing about learning a new programming language?	Old problems become new and fresh again and they help solidify existing knowledge and perhaps even improve it.
What is your least favorite thing about learning a new programming language?	I am a functional programming early adopter, so solving problems "the long way" is always a challenge for me. Also, eslint is very distracting (I am visual). I had it disabled the entire time, which is probably not ok. I like that you can assign a function to a variable. That is super cool.
Do you have any recommendations on how we could improve this project for the next cohort?	If you believe prototypes are important, I'd like to see more emphasis on that.

What We're Looking For

Feature	Feedback
Core Requirements
Git hygiene	decent number of commits
Comprehension questions	Check, there is a Math.max function. We do think prototypes are important, but classes provide an alternative way to write the code.
General
score calculates score, has appropriate params and return value	Check
highestScoreFrom calculates highest scoring word, has appropriate params and return value	Check
Player object
Has name and plays properties	Check
Has play, totalScore, hasWon functions	Check, naming a variable _totalScore is against the AirBNB rules
Has highestScoringWord and highestWordScore functions	Check
Overall	Overall well done. I would turn on the linter near the end to clean up your code, you do have some minor things.
