&lt;p&gt;🎮 Arcade Points Calculator&lt;br&gt;
A smarter way to track your Google Cloud Arcade progress&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;👨‍💻 Developed by Prateek Rajput&lt;br&gt;
🌐 Live App: &lt;a href="https://arcadepointscalci.in/" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Visit Site&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;📝 Overview&lt;br&gt;
The Arcade Points Calculator is a web-based tool built to simplify how participants monitor their progress in the Google Cloud Arcade Program. Instead of manually counting badges and tracking achievements across multiple tracks, users can instantly calculate their points and view their overall progress in one place.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;🎯 Problem Statement&lt;br&gt;
Participants in the Arcade Program often face challenges such as:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Managing completed Games, Trivia, and Skill Badges across different tracks&lt;br&gt;
Manually calculating total Arcade Points&lt;br&gt;
Understanding how close they are to rewards, bonuses, or milestones&lt;br&gt;
This tool eliminates that complexity by offering a clean and efficient solution.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;🚀 Features&lt;br&gt;
The latest version has been redesigned to align with the 2026 Arcade Program, making navigation and tracking much easier:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;🎓 Monitor skill badge progress (completed vs pending)&lt;br&gt;
🎯 Filter badges based on duration or difficulty level&lt;br&gt;
📚 Access curated content via the Resources section&lt;br&gt;
🧩 Chrome Extension for quick and seamless usage&lt;br&gt;
📖 Beginner-friendly Getting Started Guide with FAQs&lt;br&gt;
💬 Community support along with feedback submission&lt;br&gt;
🐞 Built-in bug reporting system&lt;br&gt;
📅 Track active monthly badges and incomplete tasks&lt;br&gt;
✅ Accurate point calculations based on official scoring&lt;br&gt;
🙌 Key Learnings&lt;br&gt;
Designing better user experiences through continuous feedback&lt;br&gt;
Managing real-world traffic and optimizing SEO&lt;br&gt;
Collaborating with a growing community for updates and improvements&lt;br&gt;
Building focused tools that deliver real value&lt;br&gt;
💡 Motivation&lt;br&gt;
Being actively involved in the cloud learning ecosystem, I wanted to create something practical that genuinely helps learners. What started as a small personal project has grown into a widely used platform supporting thousands of users in their Arcade journey.&lt;/p&gt;
