I was stubling about the web trying to find sample code to make such a fun and simple game and I came across yours! Thank you!

I’m wondering how I would go about adding a scoring element including clicks and time. I’m just trying to get my feet wet with developing, and think that this would be a good way to get some practical learning in. I know it will have to do with a timer trigger that starts with the first game play click, but I don’t know how to element that. Scoring would be a simple (Number of clicks * seconds) subtracted from an arbitrary number for each level. Also, adding a couple of ‘special features’ card tiles would be cool, like a ‘Next Card Stays Hidden’ where the next card you click would stay revealed while you searched for it’s match, or a ‘next pair deleted’ card that would delete the next matched set you clicked on.

Anyway, if there’s anywhere you can point me, that would be great!

Thx in advance!

#game_map{
border: 1px solid #000;
float: left;
}
// We start by emptying the div so that it will only contain
// what we put in it ourselves
$(“#game_map”).empty();
var num_of_cols = 3, num_of_rows = 3;
// Then for every column and row, we will…
for(var i=0; i<num_of_cols*num_of_rows;++i)
{
// create a div to be a cell in the game map, and…
var cell = $("”)
.addClass(“cell”)
.appendTo(“#game_map”);
// add the line breaks to handle the rows
// in a quite cross-browser way
if ( i % num_of_cols === 0 ){
cell.css(‘clear’, ‘left’);
}
}

Please take in mind that the idea behind this game / post was more educational and not something polished for production use.

While this is probably not relevant for you anymore I will still work on a solution to this problem since it might effect others.
And handling timing issues can be tough. I hope to have something posted about it soon.

If you solved it by and can share the solution I’ll be happy to hear from you

Sorry it took so long to reply, yes I am working on a new version but it won’t come out any time soon I’m afraid

Well and today when the website went “live” we recognized a real big problem: if you click the cards in a quick sequence/speed, they all remain visible!! We tested that on Mac and PC, Firefox and IE … all the same. Well, your own demo also.

Any ideas? It would be too bad if we have to remove the game as we all like it so much.

I’m glad you like it, there are more coming soon… (as soon as I’ll have some time to arrange them)

You may use any script on this site without any terms, though a link back here would be most appreciated.

Best Regards,
Adi
