Circle Catcher - The Circle Game

About The Project

  • Circle Catcher is a fun and addictive game where players control a white circle using their mouse to eat smaller circles, growing in size while avoiding being eaten by larger circles.
  • The game provides three difficulty modes: easy, medium, and hard, each with varying numbers of circles to avoid and eat. It's a fun way to practice web development and basic game mechanics.

Inspiration

  • The inspiration for Circle Catcher came from a desire to create a simple, engaging browser game that challenges players' reflexes and strategic thinking.
  • The game serves as an example of how JavaScript and HTML canvas can be used together to build interactive and dynamic experiences without relying on external libraries.

Technologies Used

  • Vanilla JavaScript
  • HTML5 Canvas
  • CSS (for styling)
