### How the Game Was Made
**Technologies Used:**

2. **CSS**: For styling the game elements, including the color grid, buttons, and animations.
3. **JavaScript**: For implementing the game logic, handling user interactions, and dynamically generating content.
**Key Components:**

- **Game Container**: Displays the target color, the score, a grid of colors, and a quit button.

- **Audio Feedback**: Audio cues for right and wrong guesses, enhancing the user experience.
### How to Play

- Below the target color, a grid of 25 color squares is presented.
- Players must click on the square that they believe matches the target color.
3. **Difficulty Levels**: The game offers several levels of difficulty, affecting how similar the colors in the grid are to the target color. The higher the difficulty, the more subtle the differences between the colors, making the game more challenging.
4. **Scoring**: Players score a point for each correct guess and lose a point for a wrong guess.
