it seems have 2 things want do:

1. record sequence of clicks on various cards
2. generate text based on sequence.

both easy enough. little clarification first:
a. recording sequence of clicks easy enough. little more complicated if want people able change sequence if change mind. if want able i'd suggest sort of drag , drop cards. have 5 positions representing preferred least preferred drop targets. need that, or clicking sufficient?

for text display (report of happy or sad etc), assume generated after selections have been made...? (i.e. there no feedback until done?)
