Build a Flip Coin Website

Introduction

Hello, developers! I’m excited to share my latest project: a Flip Coin application. This simple yet fun project allows you to simulate the classic coin flip, perfect for decision-making or just for fun. It’s an excellent example of how to create interactive web applications using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

Project Overview

The Flip Coin is a web-based application that simulates the flipping of a coin. Users can click a button to flip the coin, and the result will be displayed on the screen. This project demonstrates basic web development techniques and provides a hands-on way to practice your front-end skills.

Features

  • Coin Flip Simulation: Click a button to flip the coin and see whether it lands on heads or tails.
  • Visual Feedback: The coin’s outcome is displayed with a simple animation to enhance the user experience.
  • Responsive Design: The application is designed to work well on various devices.

Technologies Used

  • HTML: Provides the structure for the Flip Coin application.
  • CSS: Styles the application and adds animations for a visually appealing experience.
  • JavaScript: Implements the coin-flipping logic and handles user interactions.

Project Structure

Here’s an overview of the project structure:

  • index.html: Contains the HTML structure for the Flip Coin application.
  • style.css: Includes CSS styles for a clean and interactive design.
  • script.js: Manages the coin flipping logic and user interactions.

Installation

To get started with the project, follow these steps:

  1. Clone the repository:

    git clone https://github.com/abhishekgurjar-in/Flip-Coin.git
    
  2. Open the project directory:

    cd Flip-Coin
    
  3. Run the project:

    • Open the index.html file in a web browser to use the Flip Coin application.

Usage

  1. Open the website in a web browser.
  2. Click the "Flip Coin" button to flip the coin.
  3. View the result on the screen, showing whether the coin landed on heads or tails.

Code Explanation

HTML

The index.html file defines the structure of the Flip Coin application, including the button and the area to display the result. Here’s a snippet:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8" />
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
    <title>Flip Coin</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" />
    <script src="./script.js" defer></script>
  </head>
  <body>
    <div id="main">
      <div id="logo_image"></div>
      <div class="container">
        <p>Flipping your fate with a click</p>
        <div class="stats">

          <p id="tails-count">Tails: 0</p>
        </div>
        <div class="coin">
          <div class="heads">

              alt="Heads"
            />
          </div>
          <div class="tails">

              alt="Tails"
            />
          </div>
        </div>
        <div id="buttons">

CSS

The style.css file styles the Flip Coin application, adding a simple animation for the coin flip. Below are some key styles:

JavaScript

The script.js file contains the logic for flipping the coin and displaying the result. Here’s a snippet:

let tails = 0;
let heads = 0; // Added heads variable definition
let coin = document.querySelector(".coin");
let flipBtn = document.querySelector("#flip-button");
let resetBtn = document.querySelector("#reset-button");
let flipSound = document.querySelector("#flip-sound");

flipBtn.addEventListener("click", () => {
    flipSound.currentTime = 0; 
    flipSound.play();

    let i = Math.floor(Math.random() * 2);
    coin.style.animation = "none";

    if (i) {
        setTimeout(() => {
            coin.style.animation = "spin-heads 3s forwards";
        }, 100);
        heads++;
    } else {
        setTimeout(() => {
            coin.style.animation = "spin-tails 3s forwards";
        }, 100);
        tails++;
    }
    setTimeout(updateStatus, 3000);
    disableButton();
});

function updateStatus() {
    document.querySelector("#heads-count").textContent = `Heads: ${heads}`;
    document.querySelector("#tails-count").textContent = `Tails: ${tails}`;
}

function disableButton() {
    flipBtn.disabled = true;
    setTimeout(() => {
        flipBtn.disabled = false;
    }, 3000);
}

resetBtn.addEventListener("click", () => {
    coin.style.animation = "none"; // Fixed typo: "aniamtion" to "animation"
    heads = 0;
    tails = 0;
    updateStatus();
});
