Score keeper with house rules

Use with: build-web-app. Resume line when done: Built {project_name}, a scoring app for my family's game nights — live at {url}

Brief

A score keeper for the card or board game your family or friend group plays, including the house rule nobody outside the house believes. Enter points as rounds happen, let the app apply the weird rule, and keep running totals across game nights so the standings argument has a source. Scores and history persist across reloads (localStorage is fine).

Milestones

  1. Rules in the README before code: scoring, the house rule, and what ends a game. Get one other player to confirm the wording.
  2. Players and a running total for one game, deployed. Ugly is fine.
  3. Round-by-round entry with an undo, because someone always enters a score wrong; state survives a reload.
  4. The house rule applied automatically, with a test case from a remembered game where it mattered.
  5. Cross-night history: finished games saved, all-time standings and the grudge stat computed from them; empty state designed for night one.
  6. Score a real game night with it. Final README with what the table said.
