Timeline
Added yet another gamemode, this time you will have to guess the country by its name in its own language. I made sure to exclude any English speaking countries or names that were too close to English so that it's still a challenge.
I discovered that a lot of countries actually have official national mottos, so I added that as a new game to the site! It took me ages to add all the mottos into the code but I think it makes for another fun activity.
Added a new page which shows a list of every national anthem in the game and its audio file. I also provided information about the five anthems which aren't present in the game.
Did some final bug fixing as well as adding a favicon and writing the Readme to have a functional minimum viable product.
The second game on the website, the flag guessing game, is now implemented! I also added a home page and did some final tweaks and bug fixing to the country selection algorithm, so that you can now get a repeat country but only after you have gotten at least 25 other countries. (Previously it was possible to eventually run out of countries, so this fixes that problem.)
Spent some time ironing out bugs as well as adding this nice footer to the bottom of the page.
The next button is now functional, and the game will not give you a country you have already gotten before. I also added a score counter at the top so you can see how many questions you get right. Finally, I added more fonts to the website so that text in non-Latin scripts looks nicer.
The answer text is now hidden by default, and clicking to make a guess will reveal it. There is also attribution text for the recording of the anthem, and a Next button which will be used to choose a new anthem to guess.
The buttons to choose a country are now also chosen with JavaScript - one button will be the correct answer while the other three will be random countries. The order of these buttons is randomised so that there will be no way to know which one is correct. I also added a check to make sure that each button will be unique, so there will be no duplicate buttons.

The site now selects a random country from a pre-defined list and updates the answer text as well as setting the correct source in the audio tag. A new country is chosen every time the page is refreshed, later this will be changed so you can move to the next country without needing to refresh.
Set up the basic webpage with buttons to guess a country and an audio tag for the national anthem quiz.
