About

This is an interactive web-based game where players can decorate a virtual room by arranging various pieces of furniture and decor, primarily comforters and pillows. The game offers a creative, open-ended experience without specific rules or win conditions.

Game Components

Decoration Pieces

• The game features 11 different images of room decorations, including comforters and pillows.
• Each decoration piece is positioned on the screen at a specific starting location.

Game Environment

• The game is set on a webpage where players can freely move the decoration pieces.

Technical Implementation

HTML Structure

• Each decoration piece is wrapped in a <div> element with a unique ID (pic1, pic2, etc.).
• Absolute positioning is used to place each element at a specific location on the screen.

Interactivity

• JavaScript is implemented to make the decoration pieces draggable.
• Event listeners are added for both mouse and touch interactions, ensuring compatibility with desktop and mobile devices.

Dragging Functionality

• When a decoration piece is selected, the game tracks its starting position.
• As the player moves their cursor or finger, the piece's position is updated in real-time.
• Upon release, the decoration piece remains in its new position.
