KendoReact Free Games [5] Hub

This is a submission for the KendoReact Free Components Challenge.

What I Built

I created a KendoReact Game Hub, an interactive web app featuring five mini-games:

  • Tic Tac Toe: The classic grid-based game with X’s and O’s.
  • Poki Matching: A memory card-matching game with flipping animations.
  • Snake: A snake that grows as it eats food while navigating the screen.
  • Bingo: A number-matching bingo card experience.
  • Flappy Bird: A bird-flapping challenge to avoid pipes.

My goal was to make the app fun and engaging, so I added animations and pop-up messages to enhance the experience.

Demo

You can try the app and explore the code here:

KendoReact Experience

I built this project using KendoReact free components, which made development faster and more enjoyable. Here’s how I used them:

  • Buttons and ButtonGroups:

    • Buttons for selecting games and resetting gameplay.
    • ButtonGroups to organize options neatly, with togglable states for smooth game switching.
  • Dialogs:

    • Pop-ups for “Game Over” messages or scores.
    • The onClose feature resets the game when the dialog closes—super handy!
  • Animations:

    • Added Fade and Zoom effects for card flips (Poki Matching) and pop-ups.
    • Made the games feel dynamic and exciting.
  • Typography:

    • Styled game titles and instructions for a clean, readable look.

These components saved me from coding UI elements from scratch, letting me focus on gameplay logic and user experience.


That’s my submission! I kept it simple, fun, and fully powered by KendoReact free components.

Check out the demo and let me know what you think!
