Svelte Challenge: Building a Bubble Popping Game

The Optimized Dev challenge for June 2022 centered on exploring Svelte, a component framework known for compiling and outputting vanilla HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, distinct from other frameworks like React. Participants were tasked with building a Bubble Pop game, which helped them learn various Svelte features, including template syntax, data handling with stores, and component binding. The challenge also introduced Svelte's transition capabilities and the use of writable stores for global state management, allowing for interactive and dynamic applications. The project setup was facilitated using StackBlitz with Vite, and the tutorial provided guidance on implementing game functionality such as starting the game, scoring, and saving user preferences in localStorage. Additionally, participants learned about Svelte's reactive statements, custom transitions, and lifecycle methods to enhance user interactivity and experience, culminating in a fully functional Bubble Pop game enriched with animations and sound effects.
