Building a JavaScript Action-Puzzle Game (React JS)

JavaScript is an incredibly versatile programming language that can be used to create a wide range of applications, including action-puzzle games. In this article, we’ll discuss how to build a simple action-puzzle game using React JS, a popular JavaScript library for building user interfaces.

Getting Started

Before we can start building our action-puzzle game, we’ll need to set up a new React project. This can be done using the Create React App tool, which provides a quick and easy way to create a new React application with all the necessary dependencies already installed.

To create a new React project, open a terminal window and run the following command:

npx create-react-app action-puzzle-game

This will create a new directory called action-puzzle-game containing all the files and folders needed to start building our game. Once the project has been created, navigate to the new directory and start the development server by running the following command:

cd action-puzzle-game
npm start

Creating the Game Board

Now that our React project is set up, we can start building the game itself. The first step is to create the game board, which will be a grid of squares that the player can interact with. We can do this by creating a new component called GameBoard and rendering it within our main App component.

// GameBoard.js
import React from 'react';
function GameBoard() {
return (

);
}
export default GameBoard;

Once the GameBoard component has been created, we can render it within our App component as follows:

// App.js
import React from 'react';
import GameBoard from './GameBoard';
function App() {
return (
