Show HN: I created an Opposites Game for my daughter and wanted to share:)

Hello All,

After going through my daughters prep interview process, the teachers advised that she needed to sharpen up on her opposites.

After searching the Google Play store and being a little disappointed at the state of the opposite games, I decided to create my own version for her (I also wanted an excuse to make a kids game :)

So without further ado, I give you the opposites game! :) https://oppositesgame.com/

A couple of notes: * I didn't create a scoring system as I didn't want to give the sense of "pressure" in the game * A couple of ideas have popped up in my head about how I can make a spin on the game (maybe a bejewled style gameplay where you flip cards to match them?) * I am in the process of creating an iOS version for the app store * Would love thoughts, ideas and feedback

Other than the above, I hope you all enjoy :)

nice one, what did you use to make the game? any thoughts on the app submission process?

Thanks man! I used vanilla javascript to create it. App submission process was painful... :(

If not a scoring system, how about a progress bar (showing number complete vs. yet to go)?

Also split pairs from each other in progress order (e.g. up-down followed immediately by down-up).

Great ideas!

Progress bar would definately be useful even if subtle.

The pairing is not a bad idea, let me give that one some thought
