# About Pixar Style Memory Game

Pixar Style Memory Game is a delightful and engaging card matching puzzle designed to test your memory and concentration. Set against a light, airy blue background with playful animations, the game aims to capture a fun, Pixar-inspired aesthetic. Players are presented with a grid of face-down cards, each hiding a colorful emoji symbol.

The objective is to find all the matching pairs of symbols. The game uses a set of 8 unique emojis (💖, 🌟, 🎈, 🎁, 🍭, 🍕, 🚀, 🌈), meaning there are 16 cards in total arranged in a 4x4 grid. As you play, the game keeps track of your total moves and the time elapsed, challenging you to beat your best scores. Successfully matching all pairs results in a congratulatory message.

## How to Play

1.  **Start the Game:** The game begins with all 16 cards laid face down on the board. Each card back features a sparkling '✨' symbol.
2.  **Flip Cards:** Click or tap on any card to flip it over and reveal the emoji symbol on its front.
3.  **Find a Match:** Click or tap on a second card.
    *   **If the symbols match:** The two cards will remain face up and glow slightly, indicating a successful pair.
    *   **If the symbols do not match:** Both cards will flip back face down after a short delay (1.2 seconds). Try to remember what symbols were on those cards and where they were located!
4.  **Continue Matching:** Keep flipping cards and finding pairs.
5.  **Winning the Game:** The game is won when all 8 pairs of emoji symbols have been successfully matched. Your final moves count and time will be displayed.
6.  **Restart:** You can click the "Restart" button at any time to shuffle the cards and start a new game.

## Tips & Strategies

-   **Start Systematically:** Try to work through the board in a pattern, perhaps row by row or column by column, to avoid randomly clicking.
-   **Memorize and Visualize:** When you flip two cards that don't match, actively try to remember both the symbol and its exact location. Visualize the board in your mind.
-   **Focus on One Pair at a Time:** Once you've found one card of a potential pair, focus on remembering its location while you search for its match.
-   **Be Patient:** Don't rush. Take a moment after non-matching flips to cement the card positions in your memory.
