🧭 Lead Developer	Torin Wolff	GitHub

The Memory Game is a simple card matching game that helps improve memory and concentration skills. Players flip over cards to find matching pairs, testing their recall abilities. Your assignment is to change the game by adding a personal highscore feature.

This will give you practice with:

Writing variables to local storage
Creating functions to update and display the highscore
Using conditionals to check and update the highscore

localStorage

Normally when you refresh a webpage, everything resets — all your cookies would go back to zero. localStorage is a way for the browser to save data on your computer so it stays even after you refresh.

You will need to use localStorage so your feature can save data such as a high score.

Your job: Look up how to use localStorage in JavaScript and use it to save a new high score feature.

Your Task Overview

Try adding a new feature to the Memory Game that saves and displays a personal high score by keeping track of the least attempts to complete the game.

Steps to Add Your Feature

Add the highscore variable.
Add a function to update the highscore variable based on attempts.
Write a if statement to compare if the current attempts are less than the saved highscore.
Write the lowest score to localStorage.
Test your feature to make sure it works as expected.

What to Turn In/Show

Your new updated game with the highscore feature.
