Published Nov 23, 2024
The game I created for the hackathon is an exciting adventure where players must overcome different challenges to win. It’s designed to be fun and fast-paced, with different levels that get more difficult as you play. The game has puzzles, obstacles, and power-ups that keep it interesting.
I wanted to make sure the game was easy to play but still offered a good challenge. Whether you're playing alone or with friends, the game provides a lot of fun and keeps players engaged.
The game has both single-player and multiplayer modes:
- Single-player mode: In this mode, players can enjoy the game by themselves. They can complete levels, solve puzzles, and earn rewards on their own.
- Multiplayer mode: In multiplayer mode, players can connect with friends or other players online. They can play together, compete, or help each other out in real-time. This makes the game even more exciting and social. Thanks to Amazon Q, the multiplayer features run smoothly, making it easy for players to connect and play together.
As a developer, building this game was a great learning experience. One thing that made the development process easier was the help of Amazon Q with its suggestions and also implemetation of features made simple by it.
To host the game, I used AWS EC2 to set up the server, ensuring it was accessible for players online. EC2 provided a reliable and scalable solution for hosting the game server.
For multiplayer mode, I utilized AWS DynamoDB to store player data and game progress. DynamoDB allowed me to persist game data in real-time, ensuring smooth gameplay for all players connected to the server. This combination of EC2 and DynamoDB helped keep the multiplayer experience seamless and efficient.
