Building a Whack a Mole Like Game with React

#Javascript #React

In this article we will use React to build a clone of the Whack a Mole arcade game. Not only will we implement the core game mechanics, but we will also enhance it with additional features. We'll explore how to add a dynamic countdown timer, and we'll even provide the option for players to personalize the game by using their own pictures as replacements for the mole images.

Building a Dog Quiz with React

#Javascript #React

In this article we will use React and an API that serves up dog pictures to construct a quiz on dog breeds, where players will have to identify each dog's breed based on its picture.

Adding a Versus Computer Mode to our Connect 4 Game

#Javascript

In this article we will build upon the Connect 4 like game that we created in an earlier article with vanilla javascript. We will add a versus computer mode, first by having the computer play in a random column, then by implementing a minimax algorithm.

SOLID Principles: Part 4, Interface Segregation

#OOP #PHP #Symfony

In the fourth article of the SOLID series, we'll explore the Interface Segregation Principle (ISP). This principle emphasizes creating interfaces that cater to the specific requirements of clients, rather than a universal approach.

SOLID Principles: Part 3, Liskov Substitution

#OOP #PHP #Symfony

The Liskov Substitution Principle (LSP) is the third principle in the SOLID design principles series. LSP focuses on the idea that any instance of a parent class should be able to be replaced with an instance of any of its child classes without causing any unexpected or erroneous behavior.

SOLID Principles: Part 1, Single responsibility

#OOP #PHP #Symfony

Welcome to the first article in our series on SOLID development principles! In this article, we'll be exploring the Single Responsibility Principle (SRP) and how it can help you write more maintainable code. SRP is about keeping code focused on a single task, which makes it easier to understand, test, and modify.
