• Mouse Training (Gaming)This fun project was designed to keep my little ones entertained during the school holidays period. The game challenges players to click as many black dots as they can within a set time limit. With a responsive design, a built-in timer, and a score counter, it adds a delightful twist of gamification to the experience.https://github.com/irebah/mouse-training🔗https://irebah.github.io/mouse-training
