Inspiration

The classic game of Hangman has always been a simple yet engaging way to challenge vocabulary and deduction skills. I wanted to reimagine this childhood favorite with a modern, smooth, and responsive design, giving it a fresh feel while keeping its timeless gameplay. The goal was to create a lightweight word-guessing game that could work across devices, with intuitive UI and satisfying feedback.

How we built it

HTML5, CSS3 (with TailwindCSS) for layout and styling JavaScript (React) for interactivity and game logic Vite for fast development and hot reloading Responsive design principles to ensure the game works smoothly on desktop and mobile A clean and user-friendly interface with animations and transitions for a modern feel

Challenges we ran into

Balancing minimalism with engaging visuals, making the game look polished without overwhelming the user Managing edge cases like repeated guesses or unexpected input Ensuring the game was fully responsive and intuitive on smaller screens Keeping the code clean and efficient while allowing for future expansions (like difficulty levels or categories)

What we learned

How to break down a game into small, reusable components Managing state effectively for gameplay (e.g., tracking guesses, word completion, game over) Creating smooth user interactions using CSS animations and transitions Using modular code for scalability and easier maintenance Designing UI/UX that's both functional and visually appealing
