aws-tetris-game

Inspiration

A modern implementation of the classic Tetris game powered by AWS services. This project demonstrates how to build a scalable game architecture using cloud services while maintaining the engaging gameplay of the original Tetris.

What it does

This project implements a Tetris game with a twist - it leverages AWS services for backend operations, user management, and game state handling. The game maintains the classic Tetris mechanics while adding modern features like user authentication, score tracking, and real-time updates.

How we built it

• Classic Tetris gameplay mechanics
• User authentication and session management
• Score tracking and persistence
• Real-time game state management
• AWS-powered backend infrastructure

Challenges we ran into

It was also challenging to learn to use and implement some AWS services with the scripts built for the game and to use Amazon Q to improve the game.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

I have built an application from scratch using generative AI recommendations, it was a very enriching experience.

What we learned

I learned how to interact with Amazon Q to improve the code I have built and also working with generative AI and VScode.

What's next for aws-tetris-game

I want to keep developing the POC tetris game I have built for this hackathon into a functional game I can run on the web, and also integrate my game with AWS services.
