Look inside

In this liveProject, you’ll build a two-player version of the card game Slap that can be played from the command line. To code this game, you’ll use algorithms, object-oriented programming concepts, and event listeners. You’ll gain hands-on experience importing modules, creating classes, defining methods, and using other principles of object-oriented programming.

This project is designed for learning purposes and is not a complete, production-ready application or solution.
