How It Works

Cards are shuffled using Fisher-Yates. Each card click triggers a CSS 3D flip via a rotateY transform. Two flipped cards are compared by their dataset index: if they match, they stay face-up with a green border; if not, they flip back after 800ms. Stars are awarded: ≤12 moves = 3 stars, ≤18 = 2 stars, else 1 star.
