Who doesn’t love a game where you get to smack some moles? (Don’t worry — no moles were harmed!) Today, we’re building a fun Whack-a-Mole game with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. 🎮
Here’s the deal:

- You whack them (click on them) for points.
- Accidentally hit an evil plant? Game over.
- The challenge? You’ve only got 30 seconds!
Let’s dive in and make it happen. 🚀
