Matching Game Project

Matching Game is the second project for Udacity Front-End Web Developer Nanodegree Program.

How The Game Works

The game board consists of sixteen "cards" arranged in a grid. The deck is made up of eight different pairs of cards, each with different symbols on one side. The cards are arranged randomly on the grid with the symbol face down. The gameplay rules are very simple: flip over two hidden cards at a time to locate the ones that match!

Each turn:

• The player flips one card over to reveal its underlying symbol.
• The player then turns over a second card, trying to find the corresponding card with the same symbol.
• If the cards match, both cards stay flipped over.
• If the cards do not match, both cards are flipped face down.

The game ends once all cards have been correctly matched.

• Timer on the top to show how much time the player has spent.
• Counter on the top to show how many times the player flips the cards.
• Star panel to show the player's performance.
• Restart button allows the player to restart the game.
• When the player wins the game, the victory modal will pop up.
• The game will show a warning if the player tries to tamper with the back-end logic.
