Creating simple yet engaging projects is a fantastic way to hone your web development skills. In this blog, we’ll explore a Number Guessing Game, where players try to guess a randomly generated number between 1 and 100. It's a classic game, but with a modern twist: a responsive and interactive web interface.
What is the Number Guessing Game?
The Number Guessing Game is a web-based application where users have 10 attempts to guess a random number generated by the system. Players receive feedback on whether their guess is too high, too low, or correct, along with a running record of previous guesses.
This project is perfect for beginners and intermediate developers who want to practice integrating JavaScript logic with clean HTML and CSS design.
Key Features
- Random Number Generation: A number between 1 and 100 is randomly generated at the start of the game.
-
Feedback Mechanism: The game provides instant feedback:
- Too High: When the guess is greater than the target number.
- Too Low: When the guess is less than the target number.
- Correct: When the guess matches the target number.
- Tracking Guesses: Displays previous guesses and remaining attempts.
- Restart Option: Players can restart the game after winning or losing.
- Responsive and Modern UI: The game adapts to various devices with a visually appealing design.
Technologies Used
- HTML: Structure of the game interface.
- CSS: For styling, transitions, and responsive design.
- JavaScript: Adds game functionality and interactivity.
Step-by-Step Guide to Build the Game
1. HTML - Building the Structure
Start by setting up the basic layout for the game. Create a navigation bar, a game container, and elements to display feedback and input fields.
2. CSS - Styling for a Modern Look
Use CSS to make the application visually appealing. Add hover effects, transitions, and responsive styles to ensure the game looks great on any device.
Here’s a sneak peek of the CSS used for this project:
button {
background-color: #141414;
color: #fff;
width: 250px;
height: 50px;
border-radius: 25px;
font-size: 20px;
border-style: none;
margin-top: 30px;
transition: transform 0.3s ease;
}
button:hover {
transform: scale(1.1);
background-color: #ffffff;
color: #333333;
}
3. JavaScript - Adding the Game Logic
JavaScript powers the game logic:
- Generate a random number using
Math.random(). - Listen for user inputs and validate them.
- Track and display previous guesses.
- Handle winning and losing conditions.
Example snippet for random number generation and feedback:
let randomNumber = Math.floor(Math.random() * 100) + 1;
function checkGuess() {
const userGuess = Number(document.getElementById('guessField').value);
if (userGuess === randomNumber) {
result.textContent = 'Congratulations! You guessed it right!';
} else if (userGuess < randomNumber) {
result.textContent = 'Too low!';
} else {
result.textContent = 'Too high!';
}
}

Future Improvements
While this game is functional and fun, here are some ideas for enhancements:
- Difficulty Levels: Add Easy, Medium, and Hard modes.
- Timer: Introduce a countdown timer for added pressure.
- Themes: Allow users to switch between light and dark themes.
- Leaderboard: Track top scores and display them on the page.
Why Build This Game?
This project not only reinforces core JavaScript concepts like event handling, conditional statements, and DOM manipulation but also teaches you how to design user-friendly interfaces.
Final Thoughts
Building a Number Guessing Game is a fantastic way to practice your front-end development skills. The combination of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript makes it an excellent choice for beginners and intermediate developers.
