I developed this game where the objective is to guide a rat through a challenging, randomly generated maze to reach its food. By utilizing the p5.js library, I optimized the rendering of graphics, enhancing overall interactivity. To elevate the user experience, I incorporated audio/sound effects using p5.sound.js, aiming for both visual appeal and engagement. In addition, I also utilized development tools such as ESLint (used for identifying and fixing coding mistakes, and for maintaining code quality), Prettier (used for clean and consistent code formatting), and Husky (used for automatically applying linting and formatting before each commit by utilizing pre-commit hook and lint-staged) to ensure code quality and adherence to best practices. This project showcases my proficiency in javascript, p5.js, Object-Oriented Programming (OOPs), and familiarity with various development tools for robust web project development.

1. HTML, CSS, JavaScript
2. p5.js and p5.sound.js
3. Dev Tools: ESLint, Prettier, Husky

I employed various built-in functions such as setup(), draw(), keyPressed(), loadSound(), play(), stop(), etc. provided by p5.js and p5.sound.js to develop this game and integrate audio into it. In the game, players have the task of guiding a rat to its food source using arrow keys or on-screen buttons. The game offers three difficulty levels - "Easy," "Medium," and "Hard" - giving players the choice of their preferred challenge level. To enhance the gaming experience, two buttons, "Hint" (providing guidance on the path from the rat to the food) and "Solve" (automatically guiding the rat through the maze to reach the food), introduce interactive elements and strategic options for players to explore and enjoy.
