✨ Hey Fellow Devs!
I’m thrilled to unveil my submission for the Amazon Q Developer "Quack The Code" Challenge, under the Exploring the Possibilities category. 🚀
Say hello to the Alien Interview Simulator, a retro-styled, sci-fi themed web app that lets you test your tech chops by facing off against alien interviewers. Whether you're into Full Stack, Cybersecurity, or Cloud wizardry — there's a domain here with your name on it! 🚀🔮
🧠 What It Does
The Alien Interview Simulator lets users:
- Choose from 6 technical domains
-
Complete a 2-round interview:
- Round 1: 5 Q&A questions
- Round 2: 2 coding challenges
Get instant feedback and a final score
Review past interviews in a detailed history section
Domains Available:
- 🖥️ Full Stack
- 📱 App Development
- ☁️ Cloud & DevOps
- 🧪 Software Testing
- 🔐 Cybersecurity
- 🕵️♂️ Ethical Hacking
🌌 Tech Meets Retro Sci-Fi
I leaned hard into the retro vibe with:
- Animated space scenes: twinkling stars, orbiting planets, UFOs
- CRT-style screen effects: scanlines, glows, and vintage UI containers
- ASCII Art Titles: like the good old terminal days
- Fully responsive for mobile and desktop
🛠️ Under The Hood
Frontend:
- HTML / CSS / JavaScript
- CSS animations for space vibes
- JS-driven question handling and evaluation
Backend:
- Flask (Python)
- JSON-based question data
- Flask APIs for Q&A delivery and scoring
Hosted on:
🤖 Amazon Q Developer FTW
Amazon Q Developer was my go-to teammate for:
- Generating Q&A + coding questions for each domain
- Creating Flask routes and API logic templates
- Speeding up JS logic with fast suggestions
- Refactoring tricky logic through the CLI assistant
Seriously, Q made everything smoother and saved me tons of dev time.

try this if you get stuck during the interview. its an AI co-pilot that solves the questions for you so you can focus on the more important part of the interview, the communication part. its also a really good study tool: ghostengineer.com
