Interactive Coin Game

In this game, you can drag and drop a coin at three different places to invert a triangle. The movement is restricted to just three moves.

The element, img, is made draggable by making the property true.

Then onDrag(), onDropOver() and onDrop() events are manipulated to produce the desired effect.

Since the game allows a user to make three attempts, after dragging a coin three times, the programme holts - until the page is refreshed to make another attempt.





The Source Code for Interactive Coin Game is as follows:

<script>
// global variable to store the number of dragging
h = 0;
// invoked above the place where coin is dropped - just before the event
function allowDrop(ev) {
// blocking the default event - inability to drop
ev.preventDefault();
}
// invoked when dragging starts
function drag(ev) {
// stores the data of the object being dragged
ev.dataTransfer.setData("Text", ev.target.id);
}
// invoked when dropping the image
function drop(ev) {
h = h + 1;
if (h <= 3) {
ev.preventDefault();
// getting the data of the object to be dropped
var data = ev.dataTransfer.getData("Text");
ev.target.appendChild(document.getElementById(data));
}
else {
alert('Only 3 moves allowed; refresh the page for a new attempt.');
}
}
</script>
