HTML5, combined with the JavaScript programming language, is the perfect solution for making games to reach as many users as possible. The only limit now is the developers’ imagination. In this tutorial, I suggest you create a game where the user will have to click a maximum of times in 10 seconds. This game, named Click Speed Test Game, with simple rules will allow you to discover how to create your first little game in HTML5 with JavaScript.
Rules for Click Speed Test Game
Like said in introduction, the rules for Click Speed Test Game are quite simply. The goal for the user will be to click the maximum number of times during 10 seconds. Given that rule, we will need the following thing:
- A click area for letting the user to click a maximum number of times
- A score area in which we will display a timer, the number of clicks and also the number of clicks by seconds of the user updated in real time
- A logo for our game. Obviously, it is optional but it is always better to have a logo visually speaking.
It gives us the following content for the HTML page with the CSS rules.

Finally, once we have assembled all the parts of the code, we get the following complete code for the Click Speed Test Game:
