Making mini browser games can be a great way to learn how to code and understand how the internet works. It's also fun to just make your own version of pointless and addicting games such as Cookie Clicker.
In this article, you will learn how to make your own clicker game that runs on the Java Spring Boot application. The objective of the clicker game is to count the amount of clicks on a chosen image. In this particular example, we will allow the user to click on an image of a cat to give it some treats.
Tutorial requirements
- Some prior knowledge of Java or a willingness to learn.
- Some knowledge of JavaScript.
- Refer to this Twilio article to set up a Java Spring Boot application that can be hosted on the web.

Ahoy, operator. Congratulations on gaining acceptance into the Arcane Academy of API Arts. I’m Professor Taifa Omar Warsame, head of House Turing. In House Turing, we believe that code is for people. If code isn’t human centered - if it’s not helping people have fun, work smarter, or live better, it’s not that interesting. That’s why, in House Turing, we love SDKs and helper libraries. They help make working with APIs easier and more readable for the humans behind the code.
For creatives such as myself, writing code can be a form of art and expression. It's another medium to bring ideas to life, whether it be a data visualization or small click based game …

It might seem intimidating to build projects using Java especially when it seems confusing to know how to start and set up. Fortunately, using the Spring Boot and ngrok tools will reassure you that writing code for Java applications can be fast and seamless.
Spring Boot reduces the problem of figuring out how to structure the project hierarchy and provides sufficient documentation for developers to create standalone applications without relying on external web servers.
Many articles on the Twilio blog utilize ngrok, a localhost tunneling tool that exposes webhooks on public URLs that can be reached by Twilio. The excellent ngrok tool is also used to generate temporary public URLs for your development web server.
In this article, you will learn how to set up a Java Spring Boot application and create a tunnel from a URL on the ngrok.io domain to the local application running on your computer. …

When you are developing an application that uses Twilio services you need to expose your webhooks on public URLs that can be reached by Twilio. If you have followed some of the tutorials that we published on this blog you know that we recommend using the excellent ngrok tool to generate temporary public URLs for your development web server. Ngrok is an incredibly useful tool that creates a tunnel from a URL on the ngrok.io domain to your application running on your computer. You can then configure your webhook using the ngrok URL and when Twilio sends a request to it, ngrok redirects it to your application.
If you use ngrok frequently enough, it pays off to become a paid customer, which allows you to secure a permanent URL.
In this article I’m going to show you how to fully automate ngrok by incorporating it into your Java application. …
