PROJECT
Build Web Components in Lit
In this project, we’ll learn about Google’s Lit web component framework and develop a memory game project using Lit. Lit is a basic JavaScript library for quickly generating lightweight web components that can be used with or without a framework. Lit enables us to create custom components, applications, design systems, and more.
You will learn to:
Explore Lit and its features.
Build web components using Lit.
Build a memory game application using Lit.
Perform state management with Lit.

Project Description
Lit is a JavaScript framework that offers a rapid alternative to the most popular JavaScript frameworks, such as React, Vue, and Angular. It is developed on top of native web components and has minimal boilerplate.
In this project, we will build a popular one-player memory card game in Lit, inspired by a card game known by many names such as Memory, Concentration, and Shinkei Suijaku.
Initially, the cards are placed upside down in a grid. The player has to click a card to turn it over. Once a card has been turned over, the player has to click another card. If both cards form a matching pair, they’re removed from the grid; otherwise, both cards are turned back. To do well in this game, the player has to remember the cards after each failed attempt to match them. The gif below shows the final layout of the project:
