This project is a web-based card game, "Higher or Lower," developed as part of a technical challenge. The game uses the Deck of Cards API to simulate a deck of cards and provide an engaging, interactive experience.

In "Higher or Lower," the goal is to guess whether the next card in a deck will have a higher or lower value than the current card. The game continues until either the deck is empty or the player makes an incorrect guess.

1. Deck Initialization:

   • A new shuffled deck is fetched using the Deck of Cards API.
   • The deck_id is stored for subsequent API calls.

2. First Card:

   • The first card is drawn from the deck and displayed to the user.

3. User Input:

   • The user guesses whether the next card will be higher or lower in value.
   • The game draws a new card and compares it to the previous card.

4. Scoring:

   • A correct guess increments the score, and the game proceeds to the next round.
   • If the user guesses incorrectly, the game ends, showing the final score.

5. Game Rules:

   • Aces can be either high or low, as per the user's preference.
   • Drawing two consecutive cards of the same value results in a win for either guess (higher or lower).

6. Game End:

   • If the deck is empty, the user wins.
   • If the user makes an incorrect guess, they lose, and the final score is displayed.

7. Replay Option:

   • The user can start a new game at any time.

• Dynamic Card Drawing:

  • Cards are fetched dynamically from the Deck of Cards API during gameplay.

• Customizable Aces:

  • Players can set Aces as either high (14) or low (1).

• Score Tracking:

  • Keeps track of the user's score within a session.

• High Scores:

  • Saves the top 10 scores across sessions using localStorage.

• Interactive UI:

  • A simple, intuitive interface with buttons for user inputs and visual feedback for card values and scores.

• Resilient Design:

  • Handles edge cases like empty decks and API errors gracefully.

• Frontend:
  • HTML, CSS, JavaScript (Vanilla)
• API:
  • Deck of Cards API
