Assessment

1. Show evidence of some of the learning outcomes you have achieved this week.

Here's your text with the spelling mistakes corrected, while preserving the original code and structure:

This week, my biggest "aha" moment came on Thursday, as I felt it was a moment when I could really visualise how our program was interacting with the APIs and our database. It was my job to set up the server, and admittedly I was a bit unsure whether I fully understood what I was doing, as I felt like I was perhaps relying on Jack's help. But by Thursday, I had implemented a couple of relatively simple features that, while writing them, made me really get a better understanding of how our code was wrking.

Firstly, my function sends a prompt to OpenAI, passing in two variables using string interpolation. country1 from our getRandomCountry function that utilizes our database, and country2 from the user's input using a POST request.

async function getDistance(country: string, country2: string) {
  const completion = await openai.chat.completions.create({
    messages: [
      {
        role: "system",
        content: `What is the distance between ${country} and ${country2} in km? Do not send any text other than the fact (e.g. sure!, can do! or ok!). Only refer to the country as 'this country'.`,
      },
    ],
    model: "gpt-4o",
  });

  return completion.choices[0].message.content;
}

module.exports = {
  getOpenAIResponse,
  getDistance,
};

country1

const myRandomCountryObject = await getRandomCountry(database);
currentCountry = myRandomCountryObject.country; // Store the country globally

country2

app.post("/answer", async (req: any, res: any) => {
  // Extract the user's answer from the request body
  const userAnswer = req.body.answer;

That function is called and displayed to the user in our index.ts file:

const distance = await getDistance(currentCountry, userAnswer);

// Update the score based on whether the user's answer was correct
handleScoreChange(isCorrect);

// Send a response indicating whether the answer was correct, along with the correct answer, distance, and user's score
res.json({
  isCorrect, // Whether the user's guess was correct
  correctAnswer: currentCountry, // The correct country
  yourGuessDistance: `Your guess was ${distance} from the correct location`, // Dynamic message with the distance
  userScore, // The user's current score
});

While it's quite simple, implementing this really made me learn the code and the functionality of our server.

2. Show an example of some of the learning outcomes you have struggled with and/or would like to revisit.

This week, I don't feel I struggled with anything in particular mainly just getting used to the new syntax, but I would like to delve a little bit deeper into using databases.

Something that has helped me visualise how everything works in this project was to look at it like audio engineering. Our index file works like a mixing desk, and importing, exporting, and making API calls work like sending audio to external equipment to be processed or receiving a signal from an external source, etc. Probably a weird way to look at it but it has helped with this project and also understanding how React works.

[What went well]

Very good code snippets, you covered the most important learnings for this week.

[Even better if]

I wont change much. I would touch a few more topics to make it more complete, but it is fine as it is. You can have a peak to Jason's, it is a great example of a very complete PLog.
