Sure! Here's a simple implementation of the game using JavaScript and HTML:
The Path of Ascension
This implementation sets up an HTML layout with a heading, a torment symbol, a torment name, and a "Defeat Torment" button. The torments are represented by an array of objects, each containing a name, a symbol (represented by pictograms or emojis), and a "defeated" status.
The `defeatTorment` function is called when the "Defeat Torment" button is clicked. It marks the current torment as defeated and moves on to the next torment in the array. Once all the torments have been defeated, a congratulations message is shown.
The `showCurrentTorment` function updates the HTML elements to display the current torment's symbol and name. It also enables or disables the "Defeat Torment" button based on whether the current torment has been defeated.
The `startGame` function is called on page load and sets up the game by showing the initial torment and attaching a click event listener to the "Defeat Torment" button.
Please note that this is a very simple implementation and can be expanded upon to include more gameplay mechanics, levels, and other features as desired.
