Project Overview

The Simon Says Memory Game is an interactive pattern recognition and memory game where players must remember and repeat an increasingly complex sequence of colors and/or sounds. The game starts with a simple pattern (e.g., one color lighting up), and with each level, the sequence grows longer. If the player makes a mistake, the game ends.

This project is great for final-year Computer Science students because it involves front-end interactivity, sequence generation, real-time user input validation, and scoring logic, all while keeping the gameplay fun and challenging.

Key Features

1. Pattern Generation

   • Random sequence of colors and sounds generated each round.

   • Each new level adds one extra step to the sequence.

2. Interactive Gameplay

   • Colorful buttons (e.g., red, green, blue, yellow) light up with sound effects.

   • Players must click/tap in the same order.

3. Scoring System

   • Correctly repeating sequence → Player advances to next level, score increases.

   • Wrong attempt → Game Over screen with final score displayed.

4. Difficulty Levels (Optional)

   • Easy: Slow speed, fewer colors.

   • Medium: Normal speed.

   • Hard: Faster sequence, more colors.

5. Timer (Optional)

   • Limit time for players to respond, increasing challenge.

6. Leaderboard (Optional)

   • Tracks high scores for registered users.

7. Responsive UI

   • Built with HTML, CSS, Bootstrap for colorful, mobile-friendly interface.

Technology Stack

• Frontend: HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, JavaScript (for sequence generation, animations, and validation).

• Backend (optional for leaderboard & login): Node.js / PHP / Java.

• Database: MySQL / MongoDB (for storing scores, users, and game history).

How It Works

1. Player clicks Start Game.

2. Game generates a random sequence of colors/sounds (e.g., Green → Yellow).

3. The sequence is shown to the player (buttons flash one by one with sounds).

4. Player repeats the sequence by clicking the buttons in order.

5. If correct → New round starts with an extra step added to the sequence.

6. If incorrect → Game over, score displayed, and (optional) stored in leaderboard.
