This package implements a Web version of the Find the Duck game.

The game challenges the player to find the 'strange' duck on the board.

The player starts with only one duck on the game board (the strange duck).

The page refreshes when the player clicks on the duck, and four ducks appear. Only one duck is the 'strange duck.' The player has to find that duck.

When the player clicks on the correct strange duck, more ducks appear, and the game gets harder to find this duck.

If the player clicks on the wrong duck (a regular duck), fewer ducks will be visible, and it will be easier to find the 'strange duck.'

The game has no real ending. It will balance once the player can no longer find the 'strange duck.' The player score will be the level that was reached.

This package can make the game board appear on a Web page and handle user interactions.

Number 2		 Games help train people to solve challenging problems.

The Find the Duck game presents a challenging problem which is to find something that looks wrong in certain situations.

In the case of this game, what is wrong is what looks different from the average.

Sometimes what is different not wrong, but it can be what is more valuable. This is how people spot new opportunities to solve problems in a better way for other people.

This package implements a PHP version of the Find the Duck Game.

This simple game can help managers find people who are good at paying attention to details in projects that may be causing significant problems that need to be solved.
