๐ŸŒŸ From Simple Beginnings to a Real-Time Multiplayer Typing Game! ๐ŸŽฎ

I set out to improve my JavaScript skills by building a simple word typing checker using Vanilla JS. Over the course of two weeks, that small project evolved into a fully functional real-time multiplayer typing game, built with Vanilla JS, WebSocket, HTML, and CSS.

๐Ÿ”‘ Key Features:
-Players can create or join games with a unique game ID, with the admin controlling the start.
-Real-time typing progress is displayed for all players, with accuracy and speed used to calculate the final results.
-Players can restart the game easily with the same group once a round ends.
-Built as a Single Page Application (SPA) for a seamless user experience.

๐Ÿš€ What I Learned:
Building this project challenged me to go deeper into understanding WebSockets and how they enable two-way communication in real-time applications. I got hands-on experience with real-time data transfer, building an interactive and scalable game from scratch, and reinforcing core JavaScript concepts.

๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿ’ป Test your typing skills with friends and see who can type fastest and most accurately!
