Excellent! Now, let's focus on the functionality for starting a new game. Here, we need to implement the following steps:
- Extract the difficulty settings from the URL.
- Start a new game. This game should have an ID, which will be our
session id
. Plus, it should keep track of the list of articles, progress, navigation history, the total number of steps taken, and the difficulty. - Render the first Wikipedia article.
- Set up in-article navigation. We need to make sure that the links within the Wikipedia article will properly link back into our app, and not the Wikipedia website itself.
- Display information about the game session, such as the objective (start and end articles), number of steps taken, and so on.
We'll look at all of these steps next.
