so let's start with idea, when i was learning touch typing it was kinda fun typing this fast, but after a while i started getting bored of seeing all the same words appear and type. so around mid november an idea got struck - how about a typeracer game but 3D, it sounded fun and thrilling.
i started building this and was in the beta stage till december end. when i was surfing the internet i stumbled upon aws game builder challenge and i immediately started working more on the game again.
i was using unity to build this game, never made webgl build, so i asked Amazon Q to help me. intially i thought i would need an ec2 instance to host my game but nahh i was wrong only S3 was needed for my webgl build, i was like hell yeah S3 is goated dawg.
i honestly wanted to add more - dynamic word generation and even multiplayer, but i found about this challenge pretty late so its in my future scope right now.
if i had more time i would used Amazon Bedrock for dynamic word generation with respect to WPM, and for multiplayer i could've used Amazon GameLift, anyways i am happy i could atleast build a webgl version this quick.
also adaptive bot with respect to your WPM
