Amazon Q CLI Games challenge - Flappy qUfo

Thats my submission for the "Build Games with Amazon Q Developer CLI".

I decided to go with a Flappy Birds like game. But styled it in retro arcade and replaced the bird with a saucer 🛸- named it Flappy qUfo.

First of all I requested Q CLI to plan the game and then let it build it. It did a good job on a first try. Then I asked for additional features like customized character and background, retro music, sharable score card. All of which, Q CLI easily added.

For character customization we used devices camera to make a picture of a user, then passing it to a Mediapipe to remove background, and finally pixelate it for styling.
If customized, you can download and share your score card with you as a saucer pilot, otherwise as an default alien.

Overall, Q is great code buddy and this contest was fun.

Try play the Flappy qUfo on mobile device and share your result on social media.
I deployed game to Cloudflare Pages:
https://flappy-qufo-game-challenge.pages.dev/

Check my score card:

Or use codepen to play right here, but unfortunately score card sharing feature wont work.

And here is the github repo: https://github.com/srgchrksv/flappy-qUfo-game-challenge

🛠️Happy coding and playing!!!👽
