Work in progress: Building the Snake Game using JavaScript logic Yesterday I shared the idea and visual design of the Snake Game. Today I started implementing the core logic in JavaScript. The first step was creating the board dynamically instead of writing HTML for every cell. The board is divided into blocks using fixed block width and height. Using the board's width and height, I calculate how many rows and columns can fit inside the board. I then use two nested loops to generate the grid. For each row and column, a new div element is created and added to the board. Each block is also stored inside an object using coordinates like row-column so that it can be accessed quickly later. Next comes the snake structure. The snake is represented as an array of objects where each object contains x and y coordinates. These coordinates represent the position of each segment of the snake on the grid. The render function is responsible for displaying the snake on the board. It loops through each segment of the snake and finds the corresponding block using its coordinates. Then it adds a class to visually fill that block, making it appear as part of the snake. This approach makes the board behave like a coordinate system where every cell can be accessed instantly using its row and column values. The next steps will be implementing movement logic, keyboard controls, food generation, collision detection, and score updates. Currently focusing on building the core logic step by step. #JavaScript #WebDevelopment #GameDevelopment #LearningByBuilding #FrontendDevelopment

🎮 Built a Snake Game using HTML, CSS & JavaScript — with persistent high scores! This project was more than just recreating a classic game. I focused on making it interactive and state-aware. 💡 Highlights: • Smooth snake movement & keyboard controls • Real-time score tracking • 🧠 High score saved using LocalStorage (persists even after refresh) • Game over + restart functionality • Clean UI for better user experience ⚙️ One interesting challenge was managing game state and ensuring the high score updates correctly without breaking the flow. This project helped me understand DOM manipulation, event handling, and how browsers can store data locally. 🚀 Next: Adding levels, sound effects, and mobile responsiveness! Would love your thoughts and suggestions 🙌 #JavaScript #WebDevelopment #Frontend #Projects #Coding #100DaysOfCode

Just Built a Rock Paper Scissors Game Using JavaScript! ✨ I recently developed a Rock Paper Scissors game and it turned out to be a really fun and insightful learning experience. Through this project, I strengthened my understanding of: • DOM manipulation • Event handling • Game logic implementation • Writing clean and structured JavaScript code One thing I truly realized during this It doesn’t matter how small the project is — what matters is consistency and learning by building. JavaScript is such a powerful and exciting language It allows us to create interactive and realistic applications from scratch. Features of my project: • Interactive UI • Random computer moves • Score tracking system • Restart/New Game functionality I’m continuously improving my frontend skills and excited to build more projects like this 🔗 Check it out here: [https://lnkd.in/dtCyARpX] 🔗 Live Demo here :[https://lnkd.in/dR_6wr48] #JavaScript #WebDevelopment #FrontendDevelopment #CodingJourney #Projects #LearningByDoing

🏏 Built BPL Dream 11. Here's what I actually learned. 📚 🌐 Live: https://lnkd.in/gGhzvfd8 This wasn't just about cricket — it was a deep dive into React fundamentals, styling with Tailwind + DaisyUI, and using third-party libraries for the first time. What I practiced: ⚛️ React 19 → Component tree architecture → Props & state (useState, use() + Suspense) → Lifting state up for shared coin & player data → Conditional rendering for tab switching → Array filtering for player removal + coin refund 🎨 Tailwind CSS + DaisyUI → 100% utility-class styling → Responsive grid layout → DaisyUI components (card, divider, loading) 🔔 React Toastify → Toast alerts for selection & removal actions 🔧 React Icons → FaUser, IoFlag, RiDeleteBin6Line Real projects teach what tutorials can’t. 🌱 — #ReactJS #TailwindCSS #DaisyUI #LearningInPublic #FrontendDev #WebDev #JavaScript #100DaysOfCode #BuildInPublic #CodeNewbie #DevLife #CodingJourney

Built a Pac-Man from scratch. No libraries. No frameworks. Just vanilla JavaScript, HTML5 Canvas, and CSS. 👾 The result? Pac-Man Neon Arcade — a fully functional, neon-themed recreation of the classic game, running entirely in the browser. Here's what's under the hood: 🕹️ Game logic built with ES6 Modules — character movement, collision detection, and a full state machine 🎨 HTML5 Canvas for rendering the maze, Pac-Man, and ghost animations 👻 Individual AI written for each ghost — they don't all behave the same 🔊 Sound effects, high score tracking, multiple difficulty levels, and pause/resume The most challenging part? Writing the ghost AI from scratch. Each ghost has its own targeting logic, which is what makes the original game feel alive — and replicating that without any game engine was a great exercise in thinking algorithmically. No npm install. No build step. Just clone and open index.html. 🔗 GitHub: https://lnkd.in/gg7ybRS5 🔗 Live Link: https://lnkd.in/gYYxsmaQ Would love feedback from fellow devs — especially on the architecture and AI logic! #JavaScript #HTML5Canvas #GameDev #VanillaJS #BuildInPublic #WebDevelopment #OpenSource
