πŸš€ Space Hangman: Building a Sci-Fi Twist on a Classic Game with Amazon Q CLI

Image description#AmazonQCLI #GameChallenge #AWSCommunity #Python #PyGame

A cosmic journey into AI-assisted game development πŸͺ β€” and how I scored a T-shirt from AWS doing it!

🌟 The Challenge
Amazon Web Services is running a #AmazonQCLI Game Challenge:
πŸ•ΉοΈ Build a game with Amazon Q CLI,
✍️ Share your story,
πŸ‘• Get a limited edition Amazon Q T-shirt (Asia Pacific only).

So I decided to build a fun, educational, and nostalgic game with a space-age twist β€” Space Hangman.

πŸ‘Ύ What is Space Hangman?
It’s Hangman… but set in space!
You’re an astronaut trying to guess the secret word sent from alien life forms. Each incorrect guess burns up part of your ship’s shield. Guess wrong too many times? β˜„οΈ Boom β€” you’re toast.

🌌 Theme: Sci-Fi
🎯 Objective: Guess the word before your ship is destroyed
🧠 Skills: Vocabulary, logic, and some luck!

πŸ”§ Tech Stack
Amazon Q CLI – my AI coding copilot

Python + PyGame – for visuals and gameplay

GitHub – to host the code : https://github.com/su-jin1425/Space-Hangman
