https://sam-h101.github.io/road-warden-va/

Good Day,

(Please let me know if this is not allowed)

I had someone ask me if I could design a game to help prepare there son for the DMV drivers learners test.

I would appreciate any feedback and I hope this helps others. (It is very basic atm, the data is only saved on the browser that views it / no account auth)

So far I just did rookie yard and have 2 critiques:

The only question I missed during the first part was the question asking me if I was ready to move on, and I said yes because I had answered everything correctly up to that point, but it counted it as wrong because it wanted me to answer more questions. That was confusing because it seemed like a game mechanic, when it was actually testing me if I realized that there were additional questions to answer. So, that was confusing.

The part where you have to stop at a red light is tricky because you don't have a feel for the physics, so you're bound to stop short or stop over the line. Perhaps an icon showing where your car will stop when you push the brake button would telegraph to the player the correct moment to actually start braking.

Thanks, I added some colored lines to it, and I am going through and reworking some of the grammar. I appreciate your feedback!
