## Content

Match months. Simple game.

***

## The Story

My daughter was learning the months of the year. Flashcards are boring. Games are fun. So I made a game.

## What I Built

A memory matching game where:
* Cards have month names
* Match pairs to clear them
* Track time and attempts
* Beautiful 3D animations

**Stack:** JavaScript, Three.js, p5.js

## Key Learnings

**1. Kids are brutal testers**

"This is boring" is honest feedback. Had to add animations, sounds, and celebrations to keep engagement.

**2. 3D in the browser is mature**

Three.js makes beautiful 3D accessible. The card flip animations were possible with surprisingly little code.

**3. Learning games need progression**

Starting with 12 months is overwhelming. Built difficulty levels: seasons first, then halves, then all months.

**4. Inspired by X**

Saw beautiful p5.js animations on X/Twitter and wanted to learn. Analyzing others' creative code is a great way to level up.
