The "Bee Slap Game" is a playful, interactive web application that puts a simple but engaging game concept into practice using modern web technologies. This project serves as a practical demonstration of my proficiency in backend development with PHP, frontend user interface creation with jQuery and Bootstrap, and a commitment to Test-Driven Development (TDD).

The game mechanics are straightforward: players have a hive of 15 bees—3 Queens, 5 Workers, and 7 Drones—each with unique hit points and vulnerabilities. A simple click triggers a "slap," randomly targeting a bee and deducting its specified hit points. The game concludes when all Queen Bees are gone, highlighting a key strategic rule: the survival of the hive depends on the Queens.

Technically, the game is a single-page application (SPA) where user actions trigger AJAX POST requests to a PHP backend. This approach allows for a seamless, dynamic user experience without page reloads. The backend, written in PHP 5.4 or later, handles all game logic, including the random selection of bees and the deduction of hit points. This logic is rigorously tested using PHPUnit, underscoring a core principle of my development workflow: writing clean, reliable, and testable code.

The frontend is crafted with a combination of Bootstrap 3 for a responsive and clean layout and jQuery for handling user interactions and updating the display in real-time. The user interface dynamically shows the status of each individual bee, providing clear feedback on their hit points and whether they are alive or dead. A reset function allows players to start a new game at any time, adding to the replayability.

This project is a solid example of a full-stack application, demonstrating the integration of a PHP backend with a rich, interactive frontend. It showcases my ability to follow an organized development process, from initial rules and design to implementation and testing. While the game's concept is lighthearted, its underlying structure and methodology reflect a serious approach to software development.
