Welcome to the games page!
Whilst I’ve been learning JavaScript, I’ve found that being able to actually practice what I’m learning is key to understanding how JavaScript works and how to write code. In addition to the learning I’ve been doing about JavaScript itself, I’ve also read that coding basic games is a great way to put my learning into practice…
So here we have my games page!
As I learn to code each game, I will add a new section for the game to this page. These are basic games that are designed to help beginners understand JavaScript but I have also experimented with CSS to try to add some interest to the games where possible. These games are a work in progress and whilst they might not all work perfectly, they’re a great way for me to learn more about the basic concepts of JavaScript. I’ll be returning to these games to tweak them as my skills develop.
As with my other projects, the code for all of the games below is available on my GitHub page.
Have fun!
Snake
I've used JavaScript and CSS with a little bit of HTML to recreate this classic game. How many apples can you feed your snake? Watch out for the speed increases!
Breakout!
JavaScript and a little bit of HTML and CSS work together on this page to create the classic breakout game - can you clear the board without dropping the ball?
Reactions Game
JavaScript, HTML and a little bit of CSS all come together on this page in a simple game designed to test your reaction speed - what will your high score be?!
Rock, Paper, Scissors
On this page, I have used some basic HTML, a little bit of CSS and beginner friendly JavaScript to create this simple game - can you beat the computer?
The Numbers Game
On this page, I have used a combination of HTML, CSS and JavaScript to create a simple numbers game - check it out and see how you do!
The Memory Game
Coming soon!
On this page, I have used primarily JavaScript to create a basic memory game - how good is your memory?
Fun Fact:
Did you know that there are benefits to playing computer / video games? Some games have been known to improve concentration, memory function and creativity... who said playing games was waste of time?!
