Simon Game – Memory Challenge Web App
Think fast, click right — how long can you keep up this Simon Game? 🎮
Simon Game is a digital version of the classic memory game Simon Says, recreated using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. This interactive project tests the player’s memory through a pattern of colorful button sequences and unique sounds. With each successful round, the sequence grows longer, increasing the challenge and engagement level.
The game interface features four brightly colored buttons—red, blue, green, and yellow. When the game starts, a random button flashes along with a distinct sound. The user must remember the sequence and click the buttons in the same order. Each correct response adds another color to the pattern, creating a progressively difficult gameplay experience. If a player clicks the wrong button, a “Game Over” screen appears, and they can restart from the beginning.
Behind the scenes, this game utilizes JavaScript event listeners to detect player inputs and control the game’s logic. Audio feedback and visual animations are triggered for each button to enhance interactivity. The randomized sequences ensure that every game session is unique, keeping the experience fresh and challenging.
The Simon Game demonstrates core JavaScript concepts such as functions, arrays, event handling, conditional logic, and DOM manipulation. It’s a great project to showcase the use of vanilla JavaScript for creating interactive and dynamic web applications without relying on external libraries.
This project is fully responsive and functions seamlessly across various devices and screen sizes, making it a great example of practical front-end development.
