This is a submission for the Amazon Q Developer "Quack The Code" Challenge: That's Entertainment!
What I Built
We built Typaton, a fast-paced typing game where players must type words that appear on the screen as quickly and accurately as possible. Each word comes with unique challenges: they vary in speed, size, and modifiers like reversed text, position shifts, or blinking effects. These elements create a dynamic and progressively more difficult gameplay experience. What makes Typaton fun is the combination of reflex training, cognitive load, and increasingly complex typing patterns — it's both a challenge and an addictive skill test.

How I Used Amazon Q Developer
We used Amazon Q Developer to speed up the development of Typaton by generating modular code snippets and helping me structure the game’s difficulty system. With Q, I was able to:
- Break down and refine how each word’s challenge level contributes to an overall difficulty score.
- Create a scalable system that adjusts gameplay difficulty as the player progresses.
- Iterate on ideas rapidly with intelligent prompts and code suggestions.
Amazon Q Developer allowed me to stay focused on designing a fun experience while handling the technical details efficiently. My tip for others: use Q not just to fix bugs, but to co-create systems — ask it to think with you.
Thank you @ngelo_macedo_03befb9310f for collaboration.
