Alright, so today I decided to mess around with a simple “click sports” thing. I basically wanted to see if I could make something where you click on different sports balls and something happens. Nothing fancy, just a little experiment.
Getting Started
First, I sketched out a rough idea. I figured I’d have a few different sports balls, like a basketball, a soccer ball, and maybe a tennis ball. When you click on one, it would maybe change color or display the name of the sport. Simple enough, right?
I opened up my trusty text editor. I didn’t use any frameworks or libraries, just plain, old-school stuff.
The Process
I started by creating basic shapes. I used circles for the balls, playing around with sizes and colors to make them look somewhat like the actual sports balls. It was pretty basic, but hey, it was a start.
Next, I added the click functionality. I added a listener, so that when you click on a ball, it triggers a function.
Then came the fun part – deciding what happens when you click. I started simple: I made it so the ball changes color when clicked. So, basketball goes orange, soccer ball goes black and white, you get the idea.
After that, I thought, “Why not display the name of the sport too?”. So I added some text elements that would show up when the corresponding ball was clicked. “Basketball,” “Soccer,” “Tennis” – nothing groundbreaking, but it worked!
The Result
It’s nothing revolutionary, obviously. But hey, I made a thing! It’s a bunch of clickable balls that change color and display the sport’s name. It’s a small thing, but it was a fun little exercise. And who knows, maybe I’ll build on it later. For now, it’s my little “click sports” experiment, and I’m pretty okay with that.
