Mind Tickling Riddles Game Using jQuery

In order to work with jQuery, you should be aware of the basics of JavaScript, HTML and CSS. Before I start this tutorial, I assume that you are familiar with HTML, CSS and jQuery. I also assume that you know what jQuery is and how to use it in your pages.

Where to download?

jQuery scripting file can be downloaded from jQuery Official website:

Chapter 1

In this chapter I will show you how you can create interactive game using jQuery, HTML 5 and CSS3 through step by step approch. It consists three major parts.

  1. Creating HTML elements
  2. Styling with CSS
  3. Scripting with JQuery

Part 1: HTML

Before I start this tutorial, I assume that you are familiar with HTML, CSS and jQuery. I also assume that you understand what jQuery is and how to use it in your pages.

Use basic HTML code to create the HTML elements. The following is the HTML code I have used in this tutorial.

  1. <!doctype html>  
  2. <html lang="en">  
  3.   
  4. <head>  
  5.     <meta charset="utf-8">  
  6. </head>  
  7.   
  8. <body <form>  
  9.     <img src="Images/bulb_mind_brain_svg-256.png" alt="hi" style="width:256px;height:256px;">  
  10.     <br>  
  11.     <br>  
  12.     <div style="text-align:center;">  
  13.         <div id="scr">YOUR SCORE : </div>  
  14.         <div id="output">00</div>  
  15.   
  16.     </div>  
  17.     <br>  
  18.     <br>  
  19.     <br>  
  20.     <input type="button" class="styled-button-2" id="btnShowSimple" value="START" />     
  21.     <input type="button" class="styled-button-2" id="btnShowModal" value="RESTART" />  
  22.     <br />  
  23.     <br />  
  24.     <div id="output"></div>  
  25.     <div id="overlay" class="web_dialog_overlay"></div>

The preceding HTML code defines the entire page design. Use a different HTML tag to create the entire page design. It contains three major processes. The first process uses a SELECT tag to create a drop down list with data. The second process uses an INPUT tag to create buttons and the third process is an IMG tag to link with the image destination path.

Part 2: CSS

Now I am moving to the second part. The second part process defines CSS code to make the look and feel for all the HTML elements we used before in the HTML part. The following is the CSS code I have used in this tutorial.
  1. <style type="text/css">  
  2.     html {  
  3.         text-aligncenter;  
  4.     }  
  5.

Before adding the CSS code, make sure it covers the entire browser display area. The preceding CSS code defines the entire HTML element design process.

Part 3: JQuery Scripting

Now I am moving to the third part. This is the final important jQuery scripting code that makes the HTML element functionalities, effects and animations. The following is the jQuery scripting code I have used in this tutorial.

The first step in the jQuery scripting part is to include the required jQuery library reference in the head element of your page.
  1. <script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.js"></script>  
  2.   
  3. The following is the complete JQuery and JavaScript code I used in this tutorial.  
  4.   
  5. <script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.js"></script>  
  6.   
  7. <script src="http://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/jquery-ui.js"></script>  
  8.   
  9. <script type="text/javascript">  
  10.     $(document).ready(function()  
  11.   
  12.         {  
  13.   
  14.             var $divs = $('.cell').removeClass('highlight');  
  15.   
  16.             rnd = Math.floor(Math.random() * $divs.length);  
  17.   
  18.             $divs.eq(rnd).addClass('highlight');  
  19.   
  20.             var seconds;  
  21.   
  22.             $("#btnShowSimple").click(function(e)  
  23.   
  24.                 {  
  25.   
  26.                     $("#output").html("00");  
  27.   
  28.                     function countdown()

  45.
