    Thank you for looking at the 90’s music trivia app!

1. Purpose for this app:

    This app is a simple trivia game, intended to demonstrate facility with timers, jQuery, and switch statements. 
   

2. How the app is organized:

    The index.html file feeds the single page to the browser.
    All the game logic happens in app.js.
    Once the user begins the game a timer will start.  If the timer reaches 0 before the user enters an answer, it counts as incorrect.  If the questions is answered before the timer ends and the answer is scored.  This begins a new timer to allow the user to absorb the feedback.  Once this timer reaches 0 the cycle repeats for each additional question.
    Once the game is over, a reward screen appears as well as the option to restart the game.
   

3. Instructions for using this app:
