🎯 Parabole - The Daily Quadratic Guessing Game!

Welcome to Parabole, a fun and challenging daily web game where players must deduce the coefficients of a quadratic equation! Every day, a new random quadratic function of the form $y=a{x}^2+bx+c$ is generated, and it's up to you to guess the coefficients $a$, $b$, and $c$ with as few guesses as possible!

🌟 How to Play

1. Each day, you're presented with a graph of a quadratic function.
2. Make your first guess for the coefficients $a$, $b$, and $c$.
3. Receive feedback on how close you are to the correct coefficients.
4. Continue guessing until you find the exact values!

🧮 Quadratic Functions - A Quick Refresher

A quadratic function is a polynomial of degree 2, represented as:

$$y=a{x}^2+bx+c$$

• $a$ controls the parabola's openness and direction.
• $b$ shifts the parabola horizontally.
• $c$ moves the parabola up or down vertically.

The challenge is to decode how these parameters shape the curve and find the right coefficients!

🕹️ Features

• Daily Challenge: A new quadratic function every day!
• Graph Visualization: Visual feedback with a plotted graph to aid your guesses.
• Hint System: Get hints based on the difference between your guess and the actual values.
• Result Tracking: Keep track of your wins and share them with friends!
