📝 Description

Several games on the website are throwing fatal JavaScript errors in the browser console, causing parts of the application to malfunction or fail to initialize properly.

These issues appear to affect gameplay logic, mobile controls, and overall game loading reliability.

Console Errors Observed

  1. Resource Loading Failure
    Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 ()
  2. Flappy Game Syntax Error
    flappy-game.js:357 Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token '}'
  3. 2048 Game Variable Redeclaration Error
    2048-game.js:440 Uncaught SyntaxError: Identifier 'touchStartX' has already been declared

🔄 Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open the website/application in a browser
  2. Navigate through the available games
  3. Open the browser Developer Console (F12 → Console tab)
  4. See Errors

🎯 Expected Behavior

  • All game scripts should load without console errors
  • Games should initialize correctly
  • Mobile swipe/touch controls should function properly
  • No missing resources or broken dependencies

❌ Actual Behavior / Error Logs

  • Some games fail to load or behave inconsistently
  • Certain controls and gameplay features do not work
  • JavaScript execution stops due to fatal syntax/runtime errors
  • Missing resources may cause incomplete UI rendering

Possible Impact

These issues may lead to:

  • Complete failure of specific games
  • Broken mobile interactions
  • Incomplete rendering of assets/UI
  • Interrupted game loops and event listeners
  • Poor user experience and reduced application stability

Suggested Fixes

  • Verify missing file paths causing 404 errors
  • Remove extra/mismatched braces in flappy-game.js
  • Ensure touchStartX is declared only once in 2048-game.js
