Game Built: HighLow
Description: HighLow is a number guessing game where the player tries to guess a randomly generated number within a given range. After each guess, the player receives feedback: "Higher" or "Lower," guiding them towards the correct answer.
The code used:
The Game is built and deployed as a simple static website on AmazonS3 and hosted using Amazon Route53. I have utilized Amazon Q for writing the code when required. The website is written in HTML, CSS, and JS.
1. Utilize the AWS web console:
  • Check for domain availability on Route53:
    • Use the Route 53 dashboard to check if your desired domain name (e.g., "yourgame.com") is available for registration.
    • If available, proceed to register the domain.
  • Register domain_name and proceed to checkout:
    • Complete the domain registration process, including choosing a registrar, selecting a domain name, and providing contact information.
    • Proceed to checkout and complete the payment for domain registration.
  • Start writing code for the Game utilizing Amazon Q Developer when stuck:
    • Use Amazon Q Developer to get assistance with your game's code.
      • You can ask questions about JavaScript syntax, debugging, or specific game logic challenges.
      • Q Developer can provide code examples, explanations, and suggestions to help you overcome obstacles.
  • Create Bucket using S3 (Name Bucket):
    • Navigate to the S3 service in the AWS console.
    • Create a new S3 bucket with a unique and descriptive name (e.g., "yourgame-bucket").
    • Choose a suitable region for your bucket (e.g., a region close to your target audience).
  • Select Region:
    • Choose the desired region for your bucket. This influences factors like data latency and pricing.
  • Open Public Access:
    • Important: Carefully consider security implications.
    • If your website requires public access, you can enable it by configuring appropriate bucket policies and ACLs.
    • Alternatively: Explore more secure options like using CloudFront with signed URLs or private access policies.
  • Accept static website hosting:
    • Enable static website hosting for your S3 bucket. This allows S3 to serve web content directly.
    • Specify the index document (e.g., "index.html") and optional error document (e.g., "404.html").
  • Upload the files:
    • Upload all the necessary files for your game (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, images, etc.) to the S3 bucket.
  • Add base file as index.html:
    • Ensure that your index.html file is correctly configured as the index document for your bucket.
  • Now redirect bucket as Route53 Domain name hosting:
    • In Route 53, create a hosted zone for your registered domain.
    • Create an A record within the hosted zone that points to the S3 bucket's endpoint.
    • This will map your domain name (e.g., "yourgame.com") to your S3 bucket, making your game accessible via your domain.
  • Write bucket access policies:
    • Implement appropriate bucket policies to control access to your S3 bucket.
      • Restrict access to specific IP addresses, AWS accounts, or IAM roles as needed.
  • Open and play GAME
    • Open a web browser and navigate to your registered domain name (e.g., "yourgame.com").
    • You should now be able to access and play your number guessing game.
