SnailRace is an interactive web-based game where users can join and race snails by selecting dice images. The game tracks scores and announces a winner with a fun fireworks animation. The project was developed using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Socket.io, with the assistance of ChatGPT for generating code snippets and providing guidance throughout the development process.

How This Was Built Using ChatGPT This project was built with the assistance of ChatGPT, an AI language model developed by OpenAI. ChatGPT provided code snippets, suggested best practices, and guided the development process. The AI helped in structuring the project, writing HTML, CSS, and JavaScript code, and implementing features such as real-time user interaction, grid updates, and the finish screen animation.
