How to Make a Basic Game in Webflow

In this tutorial, we will learn how to create a basic game in Webflow. The objective of the game is to navigate through a web page and collect stickers along the way. Upon collecting all the stickers, a success message will be displayed for the user.

Setting Up the Art Board

The first step is to create a container to house the entire art board. We'll use a div with the class c-container and set its width and height to 100vw and 100vh respectively. This will ensure that the container spans the entire viewport. Additionally, we'll set the overflow to scroll for now.

Next, we'll create a div called c-background with a width of 400vw and a height of 400vh. This is where the background image or grid for the game will be placed. We'll also create a separate container called c-stickers to house all the stickers. This container will have a border to outline the artboard.

To position these elements, we'll set c-container to position: relative and c-background and c-stickers to position: absolute with a higher z-index to ensure that they are displayed over the background.

Adding the Title

Inside the c-container, we'll create a c-title container and add a heading with the text "Adventure". We'll use flexbox to horizontally center the title within the container. The Z-index will be adjusted to ensure that the title appears above the background but below the stickers.

Placing Stickers

The next step is to place stickers inside the c-stickers container. Each sticker will be positioned using absolute and will have a hover effect to scale up on hover, indicating its interactiveness.

Multiple stickers can be added throughout the artboard, and they can be positioned and rotated as desired to create an interactive and visually appealing environment.

Adding Interactivity

To make the artboard interactive, we'll set the c-container overflow to hidden and create a mouse move interaction to make the artboard moveable based on the mouse movement. The artboard and text will have a subtle rotate animation to add dynamic elements to the game.

Sticker Collection

For the sticker collection part of the game, we'll create a fixed container called c-dashboard at the top of the screen. Inside this container, we'll add a box to hold the stickers and an arrow to open and close the sticker panel.

The stickers in the dashboard will initially have reduced opacity to indicate that they have not been collected. Clicking on a sticker will open the sticker panel, indicating that the sticker has been collected, and close it upon hovering out.

Additionally, animations will be created for each sticker to respond to the collection action when clicked by the user.

Displaying Success Message

Finally, a success message will be displayed upon collecting all the stickers. This will be achieved using custom code added before the closing body tag. The code will display a success message once all the stickers have been collected.

After publishing the site, users can navigate through the web page, collect stickers, and receive a success message upon completion of the game.

In conclusion, creating a basic game in Webflow involves using containers to house the artboard, positioning elements, adding interactivity, and displaying a success message upon completion. Webflow's visual design interface and interactions make it easy to create engaging and interactive experiences for users.
