I recently moved my website from a vanilla HTML, CSS, and Javascript website to the Quarto Static Site Generator. I have not migrated this project to work on this website yet. Check back for updates soon, but until then, here is a screenshot of the board.

A memory game built using javascript with dinosaur images.

Tools Used

  • VS Code
  • HTML
  • Vanilla Javascript
  • CSS

Purpose

I was already relatively familiar with HTML and CSS, so I decided to start learning Javascript through making games.

Methods

This project is based off this Youtube video, however I diverged significantly from the actual code and logic used based on myprevious coding experience with Python, reading a lot of documentation, and help from Reddit.

I watched and coded along with the first part of the video, but once I started to get used to the syntax of the language I stopped watching it because I learn best by figuring out things on my own by finding solutions using Google, Code Pen, Reddit, and Stack Overflow.

Final Thoughts

I enjoyed making this game and did help me get familiar with Javascript, but I still need to do more work to actually learn the language.
