Pop(over) the Balloons
The article explains how to use HTML and CSS to create a game using the Popover API, called Pop(over) the Balloons. The game tasks users with popping as many balloons as possible in under a minute. It's an interactive way to utilise the Popover API and showcases the potential of what can be accomplished with nothing but these two languages. Of note, the game is designed in a way that ensures each 'balloon' (popover) can only be closed by clicking a specific button and is completely independent of other popovers on the page.

The article includes detailed steps and codes to replicate the game, making it a valuable resource for beginners or intermediate users interested in exploring the potentials of HTML and CSS.
