A JavaScript implementation of the newspaper game Spot the Ball.

Game

Spot the ball is a game where players guess the position of the ball after viewing an altered photograph of a sporting event with the ball removed. Spot the ball was originally a newspaper game common in the 1970s and 1980s in the UK. This project is inspired by the New York Times World Cup version of the game.
