Memory Game (Electron)

Memory Game is a small but complete product: turn-based play, difficulty modes, and a desktop path via Electron. It demonstrates interaction design, state for game rounds, and shipping beyond a single web page.

• A memory game needs crisp feedback for flips, matches, turns, and win states.
• Easy vs Hard must change the experience meaningfully, not just a label.
• Desktop packaging (Electron) should reuse the same React UI without rewriting the game.

• Built the core loop first: flip → compare → score/turn update → round end.
• Encoded difficulty as board size / complexity rather than cosmetic switches.
• Wrapped the React UI for Electron so web preview and desktop share one codebase.
• Published both a Vercel preview and a public GitHub repo for interview review.

• React component tree for board, cards, and HUD.
• Local game state for turns, matched pairs, and mode settings.
• Electron shell for desktop distribution using the same front-end bundle.
• Static/web hosting for the browser demo used on the portfolio.

• A compact case study proving polish on interaction-heavy UI.
• Public code + live demo for fast recruiter verification.
• Evidence of packaging the same product for web and desktop.

• Scope stayed intentionally small — depth is in game feel, not backend services.
• Multiplayer networking was out of scope; local two-player keeps the loop reliable.
