I am trying to put together a fun website for friends that allows us to compete identifying photos in a montage. I want to have a series of photos scroll on the screen at a set speed and when the viewer presses a button the time it took them to press the button determines their score.
For instance, a series of images from a city will scroll through with each photo taking 0.5 seconds. When a player thinks they know which city they click the “stop” button, input their answer which is recorded along side the time duration it took them to press “stop”. Then the next photo series is loaded.
I understand they will have to have some way to input their name prior to starting so the database can record their identity and then send me the results to tabulate.
Any thoughts on how to get this done in WordPress or is this too complex?
Thanks for the help.

This being too complex for WordPress is not an issue, as at the end of it all this website would be just HTML, CSS and JavaScript.
The real question should be does the person/team building this for you have sufficient skills with WordPress, PHP, HTML, CS and JavaScript to deliver what you have in mind.
I think you have to break it down into the game and the website, which in that case, yeah, wp can be the site behind your game, but it’s definitely not the best option. You’re bringing a lot of other functionality along that you aren’t using.
I can’t think of any way WordPress brings any advantage to help you build the game you describe. I mean, it sounds totally doable but it will probably need to be largely coded by hand no matter if you use wp or not.
I would suggest looking at the game as a javascript app which you embed in your web page. I think a single app will give you better timing control in the game.
You can make a car out of sticks and glue but it’s definitely not the best option
Have a look at . You can embed the games in wordpress.
