🔧 Customization & Extension

🛠️ Developer Customization Guide

Adding New Local Games (NEW - v2.0+)

Quick Start: Create a dedicated game page in the /games folder:

1. Create new game file: games/your-game.html

2. Use the template structure:

   <!DOCTYPE html>
   <html lang="en">
   <head>
     <!-- Meta tags & styles -->
     <title>Your Game - GameZone</title>
     <link href="..." rel="stylesheet">
   </head>
   <body>
     <!-- Header with navbar -->
     <header class="header">
       <nav class="nav">
         <a href="../index.html">Home</a>
         <a href="../index.html#games">Games</a>
       </nav>
     </header>
   
     <!-- Game content -->
     <section class="game-page">
       <div class="game-wrapper">
         <!-- Your game canvas/interface here -->
       </div>
     </section>
   
     <!-- Footer -->
     <footer class="footer">...</footer>
   </body>
   </html>

3. Update script.js: Add your game to the games array:

   {
     title: "Your Game Name",
     description: "Game description",
     image: "Images/your-game.png",
     rating: "⭐⭐⭐⭐",
     tags: ["Category", "Tag"],
     category: "arcade",
     url: "games/your-game.html"  // NEW: Link to local page
   }

4. Add game icon: Place 400x300px image in Images/ folder

5. Test & Deploy: Verify navigation, theme toggle, and responsive design

Using External Games (Classic Method)

For external game repositories, simply update the url field in script.js:

{
  title: "External Game",
  url: "https://github.com/user/game-repo"  // External link
}

Modifying Visual Effects

1. Background Effects: Edit CSS in .background-* classes
2. Animation Timing: Adjust animation-duration properties
3. Color Schemes: Modify CSS custom properties in :root

Theme Customization

:root {
  --primary-color: #00f5ff;    /* Neon cyan */
  --secondary-color: #ff006e;  /* Neon pink */
  --background: #0a0a0a;       /* Dark background */
  --glass-bg: rgba(255,255,255,0.1); /* Glassmorphism */
}
