Hello fellow Movie Enthusiasts!
Presenting to you – Trivia Time – a fun movie-guessing game built using Lightning Web Components and hosted for free on Heroku. The movies are taken from IMDb Top 250 List and is kept as a static set.
The Trivia game can be played by two teams numerous times and the simple rules are –
- Guess the Movie Title from Plot Summary and other details
- Correct Answer grants 10 points. Revealing Hints reduces points to be won by 5
- First Team to score 100 points wins!
App Highlights –
- The movies are randomly picked up from the static list , as sourced from the IMDb Top 250 chart. It contains foreign language and other critically acclaimed movies as well throughout the history of cinema, as governed by the Top 250 chart.
- The game can be played innumerable times by resetting the scores and setting up different team members.
- For curious Salesforce enthusiasts, this is nothing but a single LWC with a Static Resource powering the JSON Dataset. Can be exposed as a Custom Tab in your salesforce Developer Edition Org, and it this game is also readily hosted for free on Heroku , built using LWC Open Source and Salesforce Lightning Design System.
If all the above sounds too much work, you can refer the built code in this Github Repository.
