🎨 Doodle Challenge Portal

A web-based portal hosting a collection of fun, interactive, and minimalist mini-games inspired by classic browser "Doodles". Built entirely with Vanilla HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

🏀 Featured Games

1. Basketball Doodle

Fling the ball through the hoop in this satisfying, physics-based basketball shootout. Features:

• Responsive HTML5 Canvas: Scales gracefully across desktop and mobile devices.
• Slingshot Mechanics: Drag and release to launch the ball, complete with a visual trajectory line.
• 2D Rigid Body Physics: Features realistic gravity, aerodynamic drag, bounce dampening, and collision reflections against the backboard and rim.
• Visual "Juice": Implements subtle ball-tracking trails and a fun particle explosion effect upon scoring a basket.
• Persistent High Scores: Saves your highest score directly to your browser's local storage.

🛠️ Tech Stack & Constraints

The ultimate goal of this project is ultimate portability and zero build-steps.

• 0 external dependencies (No React, Vue, NPM packages, or Canvas libraries like Pixi.js).
• Mobile-first inputs bridging touchstart and mousedown events smoothly.
• Designed with Google's soft primary color palette (#4285F4, #EA4335, #FBBC05, #34A853).

🎮 How to Play Basketball Doodle

1. Aim: Click and physically drag away from the hoop to build tension (like a slingshot). The dotted blue line shows your tension angle.
2. Shoot: Release the mouse or your finger to launch the ball.
3. Score: The ball must follow a downward trajectory directly between the front and back rim.
4. Repeat: Missing or making a shot will automatically reset the ball at a random location on the left side of the screen.
