Build Tower Blocks Game With Html & CSS in 2022

  • Share this:

I hope everyone is well and enjoys learning web design. Last time we make newton's cradle animated design with Html & CSS. If you are new here then go to and Newton's Cradle Animated Design With Html & CSS.
 
Now we will build a game whose name is "Tower Blocks" using Html and CSS. You have to need to create an HTML and a CSS file. So let's go -

Step 1: Create an HTML file

index.html

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8" />
    <title>Game - Tower Blocks</title>
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width,user-scalable=no" />
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="./style.css" />
  </head>
  <body>
    <div id="container">
      <div id="game"></div>
      <div id="score">0</div>
      <div id="instructions">
        Click (or press the spacebar) to place the block
      </div>
      <div class="game-over">
        <h2>Game Over</h2>
        <p>You did great, you're the best.</p>
        <p>Click or spacebar to start again</p>
      </div>
      <div class="game-ready">
        <div id="start-button">Start</div>
        <div></div>
      </div>
    </div>
    <!-- partial -->
    <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/three.js/r83/three.min.js"></script>
    <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/gsap/latest/TweenMax.min.js"></script>
    <script src="./script.js"></script>
  </body>
</html>

 

Step 2: Create a CSS file to style your design.

style.css

@import url("https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Comfortaa");
html,
body {
  margin: 0;
  overflow: hidden;
  height: 100%;
  width: 100%;
  position: relative;
  font-family: "Comfortaa", cursive;
}

#container {
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
}
#container #score {
  position: absolute;
  top: 20px;
  width: 100%;
  text-align: center;
  font-size: 10vh;
  transition: transform 0.5s ease;
  color: #333344;
  transform: translatey(-200px) scale(1);
}
#container #game {
  position: absolute;
  top: 0;
  right: 0;
  bottom: 0;
  left: 0;
}
#container .game-over {
  position: absolute;
  top: 0;
  left: 0;
  width: 100%;
  height: 85%;
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: column;
  align-items: center;
  justify-content: center;
}
#container .game-over * {
  transition: opacity 0.5s ease, transform 0.5s ease;
  opacity: 0;
  transform: translatey(-50px);
  color: #333344;
}
#container .game-over h2 {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  font-size: 40px;
}
#container .game-ready {
  position: absolute;
  top: 0;
  left: 0;
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: column;
  align-items: center;
  justify-content: space-around;
}
#container .game-ready #start-button {
  transition: opacity 0.5s ease, transform 0.5s ease;
  opacity: 0;
  transform: translatey(-50px);
  border: 3px solid #333344;
  padding: 10px 20px;
  background-color: transparent;
  color: #333344;
  font-size: 30px;
}
#container #instructions {
  position: absolute;
  width: 100%;
  top: 16vh;
  left: 0;
  text-align: center;
  transition: opacity 0.5s ease, transform 0.5s ease;
  opacity: 0;
}
#container #instructions.hide {
  opacity: 0 !important;
}
#container.playing #score, #container.resetting #score {
  transform: translatey(0px) scale(1);
}
#container.playing #instructions {
  opacity: 1;
}
#container.ready .game-ready #start-button {
  opacity: 1;
  transform: translatey(0);
}
#container.ended #score {
  transform: translatey(6vh) scale(1.5);
}
#container.ended .game-over * {
  opacity: 1;
  transform: translatey(0);
}
#container.ended .game-over p {
  transition-delay: 0.3s;
}

 

Step 3: Create a JS file to create events on your game.
