This is a submission for the Amazon Q Developer "Quack The Code" Challenge: Crushing the Command Line

🎮 What I Built
Solutions Architect Simulator is a game where you step into the role of an AWS Solutions Architect. In each level, you're presented with a unique system design challenge — and your goal is to build the right AWS architecture using a limited set of available services.

This project blends fun with function: it teaches cloud architecture principles through interactive problem-solving. Each decision you make affects your final score, based on metrics like cost, performance, and security. Whether you're studying for a cert or just love solving cloud puzzles, this game makes it engaging and educational.

🤖 How I Used Amazon Q Developer
Amazon Q Developer acted like a powerful co-pilot throughout the development process. I used it for:

  • Writing and debugging game logic
  • Improving performance and readability of the codebase
  • Getting real-time advice on AWS service usage
  • Brainstorming features and refining game mechanics

It helped me reduce development time, catch bugs early, and improve the overall quality of the code. Plus, it was a great source of creative suggestions when I was stuck!
