Project Title
React Puzzle Slider Game
Project Summary
The React Puzzle Slider Game is a fun, interactive puzzle game where players must rearrange shuffled tiles of an image to restore the original picture. Built with React, the game focuses on logical thinking and spatial awareness, offering a visually engaging experience that runs smoothly on both desktop and mobile devices.
Core Features
- Grid-Based Puzzle Board: Displays a set of image tiles in a grid (e.g., 3x3 or 4x4).
- Tile Shuffling: Tiles are randomly scrambled at the start of the game, with one tile space left empty to allow sliding.
- Sliding Logic: Players can move tiles adjacent to the empty space to reassemble the image.
- Win Detection: Automatically checks if the puzzle is solved and shows a success message.
- Restart Button: Lets players reshuffle the board and start a new game.
- Move Counter (optional): Tracks the number of moves made by the player.
Technologies Used
- React: For structuring the game board, tiles, and control panel.
- React Hooks: To manage tile positions, move count, and win state.
- CSS or Tailwind CSS: For styling, animations, and responsive layout.
- Image Handling: The full image is sliced into grid segments using background positioning or canvas.
Learning Outcomes
- Managing dynamic layouts and interactive grid-based interfaces in React
