Give 1 point to each unique winner respectively in javascript

First of all, I hope you can understand my English. I'm not really good at English. I'd like to ask for help on giving 1 point to every unique user(a user that joined, a live stream to be exact) for every correct answer.
The issue I have in the current coding is that instead of giving points to each user respectively, it counts all users as one. What I mean by that is, for example: When user A wins, he gets(displays) 1 point. When user B wins, he gets(displays) 2 points. The points keep adding for every other user.
I'd like it to be like this: When user A wins, he gets(displays) 1 point. When user B wins he also gets(displays) 1 point too. That means each user has their own winning record.
I hope you can understand what I'm trying to explain.
Please ask if you need further explanation on things you don't understand.
I'd like to display the win count under/currently under the 'function addPhoto'.
Following is the current code:

You should have an dictionary (object) of wins with keys the users, and values are the wins for each. Thus you save for each user its own wins.
So declare global:
let wins = {
// name: wins, name2: wins2
}
Then whenever need to increase wins, do so for the wins[playerName] value.
if (mode == "winner") {
wins[userName] = wins[userName] || 0
wins[userName]++
addContent(
`<div style="text-align:center;font-size: 1.25rem;">
<div style='padding-bottom:.25rem;color:#1881FF;'>👏🏻👏🏻 `+ words + `</div>
<div style='padding-bottom:.5rem;font-weight: bold;color:#20B601;'>`+ userName + ` ❗</div>
<div>
<img src="`+ userAvatar + `" style="width:135px;height:135px;border-radius: 15px;"/>
Wins: `+ wins[userName] + `
</div>
</div>`
);

How to pause the entire code for 1 second in javascript

I am trying to code an evolutionary neural network for the game snake. I already coded the neural network part and now I'd like to output the game of the best individual of every generation. For that I'm using the drawing library p5.js (https://p5js.org/).
In my code I am running a loop in where a new generation based on the last generation is created. Each individual of the generation will have to play the game and that is how they are rated. Now I want the best individual to be outputted after I let every individual play once.
Between each outputted turn of the game of the best individual I want the code to wait 500 milliseconds. How do I achieve that?
Here is the code I've already tried but here it only outputed the board after the last turn of each generation:
async function start() {
for (let i = 0; i < 50; i++) {
population.createNewGeneration();
let bestGameTurns = population.bestIndividual.game.turns; //Array of boards
for (let turn = 0; turn < bestGameTurns.length; turn++) {
let board = bestGameTurns[turn];
drawBoard(board);
let p = new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 500));
await p;
function drawBoard(board) {
//Draw the board using p5.js rect()'s
}
}
}
}
Another version but the waiting didn't work here:
let i = 0;
setInterval(async () => {
population.createNewGeneration();
console.log(i, population.avgFitness);
let bestGameTurns = population.bestIndividual.game.turns; //Array of boards
for (let turn = 0; turn < bestGameTurns.length; turn++) {
let board = bestGameTurns[turn];
drawBoard(board);
let p = new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 500));
await p;
function drawBoard(board) {
//Draw the board using p5.js rect()'s
}
}
i++;
}, 1);

The code you provided should do what you asked for, I could only clean up some parts for you. Explain a bit better what is the problem you are facing.
// The function should be defined only once.
function drawBoard(board) { }
async function start() {
for (let i = 0; i < 50; i++) {
population.createNewGeneration();
const bestGameTurns = population.bestIndividual.game.turns; //Array of boards
for (let turn = 0; turn < bestGameTurns.length; turn++) {
// Don't wait on first iteration
await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 500 * (turn ? 0 : 1 )));
drawBoard(bestGameTurns[turn]);
}
}
}

Original idea (discarded)
You can create a short function like that:
function pause(ms) {
return new Promise((resolve) => setTimeout(resolve, ms));
}
Then in any async function you can call it like that:
async function () {}
// something happening
await pause(500);
// continue
}
The other idea
Now, the code in your question is not complete so this is kind of blind coding but.
So, first of all setInterval will be running the whole function every 1 millisecond (actually 4 ms, as this is the minimum in JS). Which means it will run those loops. I decided to focus on the part that was marked by you.
Instead of loop and trying to pause it, I ask that maybe rewriting the loop into function called each half second until condition is met would do?
Also, I move drawBoard outside
setInterval(async () => {
// ^^^^^^^^ <-- this should probably go
population.createNewGeneration();
console.log(i, population.avgFitness);
let bestGameTurns = population.bestIndividual.game.turns; //Array of boards
function tick(turn = 0) {
let board = bestGameTurns[turn];
function drawBoard(board) {
//Draw the board using p5.js rect()'s
}
drawBoard(board);
// here is "setTimeouted" loop
if (turn < bestGameTurns.length) {
setTimeout(tick, 500, turn + 1);
}
}
tick();
}, 1);

Thanks to everyone, your suggestions brought me to an idea. I found out that the problem was lying somewhere else. Because javascript only runs on the one thread (I think thats how its called), after we run over one generation, we have to stop that function to let another draw function, which runs every frame, draw the board. After it is drawn, the main function can continue. This is how it looks:
let isDrawn = false;
let currentBoard;
async function setup() {
for (let i = 0; i < 50; i++) {
population.createNewGeneration();
const bestGameTurns = population.bestIndividual.game.turns;
for (let turn = 0; turn < bestGameTurns.length; turn++) {
await step(bestGameTurns[turn], turn);
}
}
}
function step(board, turn) {
currentBoard = board;
isDrawn = false;
return new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(() => {
if (isDrawn) resolve();
}, 500));
}
setTimeout(() => {
if (currentBoard) {
drawBoard(currentBoard);
isDrawn = true;
currentBoard = undefined;
}

It's not working that well but a few improvements should make it better...
If you have any suggestions for improvements of the code, please let me know!

I tried to fix it into steps as I said in comments,I hope I have no mistake :
let i = 0;
async function step(bestGameTurns, turn)
{
if (turn == bestGameTurns.length)
return;
let board = bestGameTurns[turn];
drawBoard(board);
let p = new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(() => step(bestGameTurns, turn+1), 500));
await p;
}
function drawBoard(board) {
//Draw the board using p5.js rect()'s
}
setInterval(async () => {
population.createNewGeneration();
console.log(i, population.avgFitness);
let bestGameTurns = population.bestIndividual.game.turns; //Array of boards
step(bestGameTurns, 0);
i++;
}, 1);

azure asynchronous javascript backend - wait function

I'm using Azure Mobile Services and a javascript backend. My problem is that the function don't wait the end of an other function.
I'm trying to choose an item (word) with a particolar rules. i want to pick the item with highest item.wordnumber. If there are few item with the same item.wordnumber i want to pick who has a highest avarage of votes associated at that item (in the other table "votes").
This script don't wait the return of function CalcolateMaxAvg.
I would do as I did in c # with await.
var tableWords = tables.getTable('Word');
var tableVotes = tables.getTable('Votes');
var avgVotesActualWord = 0;
var maxItem = null;
var maxItemVote = 0;
function WordChoice() {
var select = tableWords.orderByDescending('wordnumber').read({success:
function (results)
{
results.forEach(function(item)
{
if(maxItem == null)
{
maxItem = item;
maxItemVote = tableVotes.where({idword: item.id}).read({success: CalcolateMaxAvg});
}
else if(item.wordnumber > maxItem.wordnumber)
{
maxItem = item;
maxItemVote = tableVotes.where({idword: item.id}).read({success: CalcolateMaxAvg});
}
else if(item.wordnumber == maxItem.wordnumber)
{
//chack who have more votes
avgVotesActualWord = 0;
avgVotesActualWord = tableVotes.where({idword: item.id}).read({success: CalcolateMaxAvg});
//the problem is avgVoteActualWord that is always NaN
console.log('Word: %s with avg: %d', item.word, avgVotesActualWord);
if(avgVotesActualWord > maxItemVote)
{
//take the actualword because have more votes
maxItem = item;
maxItemVote = avgVotesActualWord;
}
}
})
if(maxItem != null)
{
console.log('parola: %s', maxItem.word);
maxItem.selected = true;
tableWords.update(maxItem);
}
else
{
console.log('null');
}
}
});
}
function CalcolateMaxAvg(resultsVote)
{
var sum = 0;
var count = 0;
var avg = 0;
resultsVote.forEach(function(itemVote)
{
sum = sum + itemVote.vote;
count = count + 1;
})
if(count > 0)
{
avg = sum / count;
}
//this is a correct value of avgVoteActualWord, but he don't wait the return of this value
console.log('avg: %d', avg);
return avg;
}

The problem is that a call to table.where(...).read(...) is asynchronous - it won't return a number returned by the CalcolateMaxAvg function (it won't return anything). You need to rewrite your code to embrace the asynchronicity of JavaScript, something along the lines of the code below.
var tableWords = tables.getTable('Word');
var tableVotes = tables.getTable('Votes');
var avgVotesActualWord = 0;
var maxItem = null;
var maxItemVote = 0;
function WordChoice() {
var select = tableWords.orderByDescending('wordnumber').read({
success: function (results)
{
function processNextResult(index) {
if (index >= results.length) {
// All done
if(maxItem != null)
{
console.log('parola: %s', maxItem.word);
maxItem.selected = true;
tableWords.update(maxItem);
}
else
{
console.log('null');
}
return;
}
var item = results[index];
if (maxItem == null) {
maxItem = item;
tableVotes.where({ idword: item.id }).read({ success: simpleProcessVotesResult });
} else if (item.wordnumber > maxItem.wordnumber) {
maxItem = item;
tableVotes.where({ idword: item.id }).read({ success: simpleProcessVotesResult });
} else if (item.wordnumber == maxItem.wordnumber) {
//check who have more votes
avgVotesActualWord = 0;
tableVotes.where({idword: item.id}).read({
success: function(resultsVote) {
avgVotesActualWord = CalcolateMaxAvg(resultsVote);
//the problem is avgVoteActualWord that is always NaN
console.log('Word: %s with avg: %d', item.word, avgVotesActualWord);
if(avgVotesActualWord > maxItemVote)
{
//take the actualword because have more votes
maxItem = item;
maxItemVote = avgVotesActualWord;
}
processNextResult(index + 1);
}
});
} else {
processNextResult(intex + 1);
}
}
function simpleProcessVotesResult(resultsVote) {
maxItemsVote = CalcolateMaxAvg(resultsVote);
processNextResult(intex + 1);
}
processNextResult(0);
}
});
}
function CalcolateMaxAvg(resultsVote)
{
var sum = 0;
var count = 0;
var avg = 0;
resultsVote.forEach(function(itemVote)
{
sum = sum + itemVote.vote;
count = count + 1;
})
if(count > 0)
{
avg = sum / count;
}
//this is a correct value of avgVoteActualWord, but he don't wait the return of this value
console.log('avg: %d', avg);
return avg;
}

javascript: How to build a function that refers to the variables in my Quiz app?

I recently built a small quiz application, it currently only has two questions. After all the questions are finished I would like for the app to present a page that says "You made it here" (eventually I'll add more). However for some reason the final-function feedback of this code is not working. Where am I going wrong?
$(document).ready(function () {
var questions = [
{question: "Who is Zack Morris?",
choices: ['images/ACslater.jpg','images/CarltonBanks.jpeg','images/ZachMorris.jpg'],
quesNum: 1,
correctAns: 2},
{question: "Who is Corey Matthews?",
choices: ['images/CoryMatthews.jpeg','images/EdAlonzo.jpg','images/Shawnhunter.jpg'],
quesNum: 2,
correctAns: 1},
];
var userAnswer //THis needs to be looked into
var counter = 0;
var score = 0;
var html_string = '';
var string4end = ''
//function to loop choices in HTML, updates counter, checks answer
var update_html = function(currentQuestion) {
// put current question into a variable for convenience.
// put the question string between paragraph tags
html_string = '<p>' + currentQuestion.question + '</p>';
// create an unordered list for the choices
html_string += '<ul>';
// loop through the choices array
for (var j = 0; j < currentQuestion.choices.length; j++) {
// put the image as a list item
html_string += '<li><img src="' + currentQuestion.choices[j] + '"></li>';
}
html_string += '</ul>';
$('.setImg').html(html_string);
}
update_html(questions[0]);
$('.setImg li').on('click', function (e) {
userAnswer = $(this).index();
checkAnswer();
counter++;
update_html(questions[counter]);
$('#score').html(score);
showFinalFeedback();
});
//function to identify right question
function checkAnswer ()
{
if (userAnswer === questions[counter].correctAns)
{
score=+100;
}
}
function showFinalFeedback ()
{
if (counter === (questions.length+1))
{
string4end = '<p>' + 'You made it here!!!!' + '</p>';
$('.setImg').html(string4end);
}
}
});

I agree with Vector that you either should start with 1 as Counter initialization or, to check
if (counter < questions.length) {
return;
}
alert('You \'ve made it till here');
I also rewrote it in a form of a jquery plugin, maybe a handy comparison to your way of working?

How to access variables within another function

I'm writing code for a blackjack game and have run into some problems. I have written two functions: one for the initial deal and one for each consecutive hit. this is the deal function:
var deck = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,"Jack","Queen","King","Ace"];
function deal() {
var card1_val = Math.floor(Math.random() * deck.length);
var card2_val = Math.floor(Math.random() * deck.length);
var card1 = deck[card1_val];
var card2 = deck[card2_val];
var hand = card1 + ", " + card2;
{//card1 Conditionals
if (card1 == "Jack") {
card1_val = 10;
}
else if (card1 == "Queen") {
card1_val = 10;
}
else if (card1 == "King") {
card1_val = 10;
}
else if (card1 == "Ace") {
card1_val = 11;
}
}
{//card2 Conditionals
if (card2 == "Jack") {
card2_val = 10;
}
else if (card2 == "Queen") {
card2_val = 10;
}
else if (card2 == "King") {
card2_val = 10;
}
else if (card2 == "Ace") {
card2_val = 11;
}
}
var res = card1_val + card2_val;
document.getElementById("result").innerHTML = hand;
//document.getElementById("test").innerHTML = card1_val + ", " + card2_val;
if (res > 21) {
alert("Blackjack!");
}
}
This is the hit function:
function hit() {
var card_val = Math.floor(Math.random() * deck.length);
var nhand = deck[card_val];
bucket = hand + nhand
}
If you look at hit() I am using the var hand from deal(). I can't make it global because I need the value to be a fresh random each time. How do I access this same variable without rewriting lines of code? Any help would be appreciated.

You can either
Declare hand outside of the function scope with just var hand; and use hand in the deal function without redeclaring it as a var;
Or use window.hand when declaring hand in the deal function

global variables are evil. i would take more object oriented approach, like this
var Hand = function(bjcallback) {
this.cards = [];
this.onblackjack = bjcallback;
this.deck = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,"Jack","Queen","King","Ace"];
this.values = {
"Jack": 10,
"Queen": 10,
"King": 10,
"Ace": 11
};
this.sum = function() {
var i, x, res = 0;
for (i in this.cards) {
x = this.cards[i];
if (typeof(x) != 'number') { x = this.values[x] };
res += x;
};
return res
};
this.pick = function() {
var pos = Math.floor(Math.random() * this.deck.length);
var card = this.deck[pos];
console.log(card);
return card
};
this.deal = function(n) {
n = n || 2;
for (var i=0; i<n; i++) this.cards.push(this.pick())
};
this.hit = function() {
this.cards.push(this.pick());
if (this.sum() > 21) this.onblackjack();
}
}
var hurray = function() { alert('Blackjack!') };
var hand = new Hand(hurray);
hand.deal();
hand.hit();
note that i'm not much into cards so i might have confused terminology or counting
