Not our idea either: Pelmanism is the old British name for the card game also known as Concentration or Memory, played with a deck laid face down on the table. This one is here to show what a game built in plain JavaScript can do in a browser.
What it shows
- Cards that turn over in 3D with CSS transforms, no canvas or library
- Faces drawn from the Font Awesome thin icons we use for our dzined cloud kits
- Sound synthesised as you play with the Web Audio API, no audio files
- Mouse, touch and keyboard: tab to the grid, arrow keys move between cards
- A clock, a move count and your best for each size, kept on your device
- Reduced-motion support and screen-reader labels for every card
