Guess the Number Game Interface

In this project, you'll create a simple Guess the Number game interface using HTML and CSS. While this is a static project (no JavaScript), it will allow beginners to practice designing a user-friendly interface with buttons, inputs, and text displays. This project focuses on styling and layout, and can later be extended with JavaScript for added functionality.


🌟 Project Overview

Features

  • Input Field: For entering guesses.
  • Guess Button: To submit the guess.
  • Message Display: To show feedback (e.g., "Try again" or "Correct!").
  • Basic Styling: Clean and simple design using CSS.
  • Responsive Layout: Making sure the game looks good on different screen sizes.

πŸ“„ HTML (index.html)

This HTML file will contain the layout of the game interface, including the input field, button, and message area.


🎨 CSS (styles.css)

This CSS file will style the game interface, making it look clean and modern. It will also make the game responsive so that it looks good on various devices.


🧠 Key Concepts for Learning

  1. HTML Elements:

    • Input Field: To enter the user's guess.
    • Button: For submitting the guess.
    • Div for Result: To display messages to the user.
  2. CSS Styling:

    • Forms and Buttons: Basic input and button styling, adding padding, and making buttons interactive with hover effects.
    • Layout: Using flex to center the game container on the page.
    • Responsive Design: The use of max-width to make the input field and button adaptable to different screen sizes.
  3. User Interface Design:

    • Creating a clean and simple layout with clear instructions and a visually engaging result message.

πŸ› οΈ How to Run the Project

  1. Create the Files:

    • Create a new folder for the project, and inside that folder, create two files: index.html and styles.css.
    • Copy the code provided into the respective files.
  2. Open the HTML file:

    • Open index.html in your browser to see the design.

🌟 Enhancements to Try (with JavaScript)

Once you are comfortable with the design, you can use JavaScript to add functionality to the game. Here are some ideas:

  1. JavaScript Logic: Implement a function that randomly generates a number between 1 and 100 and compares it with the user’s guess to give feedback.
  2. Score Counter: Keep track of how many guesses it takes to find the correct number.
  3. Guess History: Display the user's previous guesses to help them.
  4. Game Reset: Add a button to restart the game once the user guesses correctly.
