✨ Gameplay

(/frontend)

• Users are presented with a large, crowded illustration and must find and tag Waldo by clicking the correct spot.
• Click anywhere on the image to bring up a targeting box. Select "Waldo" from the dropdown to submit your guess.
• Get instant feedback on whether you found Waldo or need to keep searching.
• Your time starts when the image loads and ends when you find Waldo. Try to get your fastest time!
• If you find Waldo, enter your name and see how you stack up on the leaderboard.

(/backend)

• Waldo’s exact coordinates are saved in the database and validated server-side.
• Tracks and stores top player scores with timestamps and names.
