🧠 Checkmate with Amazon Q CLI: I Built a Chess Game Using Pygame!
Built a classic Chess game using Pygame with the help of Amazon Q CLI! #AmazonQCLI helped me turn a concept into code by generating modular, readable Python code. Here's how I did it and what I learned.
I built a fully functional Chess game using Pygame — and I used Amazon Q CLI to generate, debug, and modularize the game logic! It supports two-player chess with visuals and logic that align with classic rules, built entirely in Python.
💡 Why I Built It
I wanted to explore how far Amazon Q CLI can take me in a real-world coding challenge. Instead of a “hello world,” I decided to build something strategic: a Chess game! The idea was to test how Amazon Q CLI helps accelerate development and reduce repetitive tasks.
⚙️ How Amazon Q CLI Helped
Generated base code structure and UI loop in seconds
Helped me implement complex logic like piece movement and board state tracking
Suggested performance optimizations and modularization
Reduced time spent searching StackOverflow or docs!
With just a few prompts, Amazon Q CLI became my real-time pair programmer.
I’ve hosted the code on GitHub so others can build upon it, learn from it, or even challenge me in a match 😄
