HTML, CSS, and JS
Starting out with this project, had to figure out HTML, CSS, and JS. I personally think the hardest to learn was CSS. CSS has so many things to wrap my head around so as you saw from here I didn't do too much styling in the beginning.

HTML and JS were surprisingly not too bad as HTML is rather simple with all the tags. Javascript also wasn't too bad because I perviously learned java in highschool.
Node.js
When trying to make this game, I figured I need a way to make the game logic run on the webpage. Fortunately, this is where I picked up Node.js.
Express and Socket.io
When I took a look at my professor's project, I saw unfamiliar syntax related to express, app, and server. The reason why I ended up picking them up for this project was because I needed a way to have different users connect and interact with each other.
Although this is my first project that is web based, I had made something similar that connected a GUI to postgreSQL. You can find the project here.
