How to Build a Color Prediction Website

Learn to create a fun and interactive color prediction game with basic web technologies.

Introduction

Color prediction games can be not only fun but also educational. They challenge users to guess or predict a color based on various cues. In this guide, we'll cover how you can build a simple color prediction website using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

Required Tools and Technologies

Before starting, ensure you have the following:

Text Editor (VSCode, Sublime Text, etc.)
Basic knowledge of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript
Modern web browser (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, etc.)

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Setting Up the HTML Structure

Create a basic HTML5 structure. Save it as index.html.

<html>
  <head>
    <title>Color Prediction Game</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <div id="game">
      <div id="colorDisplay"></div>
      <button onclick="startGame()">Start Game</button>
    </div>
    <script src="script.js"></script>
  </body>
</html>

Step 2: Adding Style with CSS

Add styles to enhance the look of your game. Save this as style.css.

#colorDisplay {
  width: 100px;
  height: 100px;
  background-color: #FFFFFF;
  border: 1px solid #000000;
}

Step 3: Making It Interactive with JavaScript

Implement the game logic. Save this as script.js.

function startGame() {
  var randomColor = "#" + Math.floor(Math.random()*16777215).toString(16);
  document.getElementById("colorDisplay").style.backgroundColor = randomColor;
}

Testing and Deployment

Open your index.html file in a web browser to test the functionality of your color prediction game. You should see a colored box and a button to change its color. For deployment, consider free hosting services such as GitHub Pages, Netlify, or Vercel.
