🧠 Memory Game

A simple yet engaging card-matching memory game built with JavaScript, HTML, and CSS.

🎯 Features

• Flip cards to reveal symbols and find matching pairs.
• Tracks number of moves and elapsed time.
• Optionally tracks and displays high scores (if implemented).
• Clean, responsive UI design.

└── script.js        # Core game logic (shuffle, flip, match, scoring)

🚀 Getting Started

Prerequisites

All you need is a modern web browser—no installation required!

Usage

1. Clone the repo:

   git clone https://github.com/jenniferlinet/memory-game.git
   cd memory-game

2. Open index.html in your browser.

3. Start playing! Click on cards to reveal and match them.

🛠️ How It Works

• Card Grid: Cards are shuffled and displayed face-down.

• Game Loop:

  1. Click two cards.
  2. If symbols match, the cards stay revealed; otherwise, they flip back after a brief pause.
  3. The game finishes when all pairs are matched.

• Score Tracking: Monitors moves (pair attempts) and time. High scores can be added with local storage or server integration.

♻️ Customization & Extension

• To change card icons/images: update cards array in script.js.
• Add new features like level difficulty, sound effects, or persistent high score tracking.
• Refactor the code into ES6 modules or integrate into a front-end framework for scalability.
