Arrays, Methods and SPAs

The past two weeks, I've been working on single page applications with sinatra's micro framework. It wasn't always simple, but that's because I needed to improve on those areas. I have two apps:
  • First one is a "Where's Waldo?"app, which is supposed to play a sound and load a new picture when you find and click on Waldo
  • Second app is called "Brand'D Zoo," that shows a random animal with matching animal sounds and description (the description is random, but the animal is relevant).
There were definitely some features or functions that I wanted in my apps and haven't gotten the down yet; either because I don't understand it or I'm not exactly sure what I want. I used external resources that I was given in my web dev class and also googled some issues, which I found promising as a way to sort through my issues. Originally I was hesitant about posting issue on StackOverflow, but I have actually found it to be a major resource. Although I am afraid of the easy "copy and paste," I do try to spend sometime trying to understand the code. I was taught to get the functionality down before worrying about the minor details like layout and placement. Alright it's beginning to feel stale writing this post, so here it is.
