Hello Everyone! I am happy to be here

#1

I am having problems with getElementId and Onclick buttons to function.
for example,

Chosen opponent:

Computer

Human

Play Again

From heap: Move: Bricks(s)

Overall Move Count : 0 Colorful Play Reset

New game Close window

this is a Nim game I have been trying to get working. But I find it very difficult to ask chosen opponent to work properly.
If I click on the buttons to get bricks the buttons don’t respond.

please, can someone help me with HTML, CSS and JS coding?
thanks for understanding

Started this game but get stock because i am new and i want to learn more. I mixed up lots of functions and can’t get the whole program working properly because i have difficulty in the Onclick buttons to get the bricks. Just the Reset button is working, colour just chaning to red but needed it to change in different colours that’s why i used the rainbow elements. I just need an outline why my Nim game is not working. Help!
Thanks for contributions.

I’ve edited your post for readability. When you enter a code block into the forum, remember to precede it with a line of three backticks and follow it with a line of three backticks to make easier to read. See this post to find the backtick on your keyboard. The “preformatted text” tool in the editor (</>) will also add backticks around text.

Sorry! Learning.
I will go through it now and learn it. Thanks once more.
