Design Hit the Mouse Game using HTML, CSS and Vanilla Javascript - GeeksforGeeks

27 Oct, 2021
In this article, we are going to create a game in which mouse come out from the holes, and we hit the mouse with hammer to gain points. It is designed by using HTML, CSS & Vanilla JavaScript.
HTML Code:
First, we create an HTML file (index.html).
Now after creation HTML file, we are going to give title to our webpage using <title> tag. It should be placed between the <head> tag.
Then we link the CSS file that provide all the animations effect to our html. It also placed inside <head> section.
Coming to the body section of our HTML code.We have to create a div for giving the main heading to our game.In second div we place points for our game.In third div which is the most interesting one we place 5 holes and assign the particular class to them.In next one, we place the 2 buttons to start and stop our game as per the user interest.In the final div we place a hammer image which later on we covert it to cursor.

In the final div we place a hammer image which later on we covert it to cursor.
At the end of our body section we place link of our JS file in <script> tag.
index.html
<!DOCTYPE html><html lang="en">  <head>    <title>Hit-The-Mouse</title>    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">      <!-- Adding google fonts to our project         to set chosen font family -->    <link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Dancing+Script:wght@700&display=swap"        rel="stylesheet">    <link rel="preconnect"         href="https://fonts.gstatic.com"></head>  <body>    <div class="heading">        <h1>Hit the Mouse</h1>    </div>      <div class="score">        <h3>Points: <span>0</span></h3>    </div>      <div class="holes">        <div class="hole hole1"></div>        <div class="hole hole2"></div>        <div class="hole hole3"></div>        <div class="hole hole4"></div>        <div class="hole hole5"></div>    </div>    <div class="buttons">        <button class="button start">            START        </button>          <button class="button stop">            STOP        </button>    </div>      <div class="hammer">        <img src='https://media.geeksforgeeks.org/wp-content/uploads/20210302112037/hammer1.png'>    </div>          <!-- linking our js file -->    <script src="script.js"></script></body>  </html>
CSS Code: CSS is used to give different types of animations and effect to our HTML page so that it looks interactive to all users. In CSS, we have to remind the following points –
Restore all the browser effects.
Use classes and ids to give effects to HTML elements.
Use @keyframes{} for giving the animation to HTML elements.
style.css
/* Restoring all the browser effects */* {    margin: 0;    padding: 0;    box-sizing: border-box;    font-family: 'Dancing Script', cursive;    cursor: none;}  /* Setting up the bg-color, text-color and alignment to all body elements */body {    background-color: green;    color: white;    justify-content: center;}  .heading {    font-size: 2em;    margin: 1em 0;    text-align: center;}  .score {    font-size: 1.3em;    margin: 1em;    text-align: center;}  .holes {    width: 600px;    height: 400px;    display: flex;    flex-wrap: wrap;    margin: 0 auto;}  .hole {    flex: 1 0 33.33%;    overflow: hidden;    position: relative;}  /* Use of pseudo classes */.hole:after {    display: block;    background: url('https://media.geeksforgeeks.org/wp-content/uploads/20210302112038/hole2.png')        bottom center no-repeat;    background-size: contain;    content: '';    width: 100%;    height: 70px;    position: absolute;    z-index: 20;    bottom: -30px;}  .rat {    position: absolute;    z-index: 10;    height: 10vh;    bottom: 0;    left: 50%;    transform: translateX(-50%);    animation: move 0.5s linear;}  .buttons {    margin: 3em 0 0 0;    text-align: center;}  .button {    background-color: inherit;    padding: 15px 45px;    border: #fff 2px solid;    border-radius: 4px;    color: rgb(21, 14, 235);    font-size: 0.8em;    font-weight: 900;    outline: none;}  /* It is used because we want to display single button at a timeon the screen */  /* This functionally is moreover controlled by JS */.stop {    display: none;}  .hammer img {    position: absolute;    height: 125px;    z-index: 40;    transform: translate(-20px, -50px);    pointer-events: none;    animation: marne_wale_effects 0.1s ease;}  /* Giving animation to our rat */@keyframes move {    from {        bottom: -60px;    }    to {        bottom: 0;    }}  /* Giving effects to hammer when we hit on the rat */@keyframes marne_wale_effects {    from {        transform: rotate(0deg);    }    to {        transform: rotate(-40deg);    }}
Till now, we completed all of our UI part now we will write code to give functionalities to our game.
JavaScript Code: In this section, we write the code for –
Hitting effects of the hammer.Changing the cursor to the hammer.Start/stop our game.Calculating the number of hits
Hitting effects of the hammer.
Changing the cursor to the hammer.
Start/stop our game.
Calculating the number of hits
