Vibecoded a Game using AmazonQ CLI

I was checking out some AI tools out there and how efficient they are at building entire apps from scratch, literally anything. Then I came across Amazon Q and the new challenge to build a game using it. So, like anyone curious, I decided to give it a shot. Building a game just by prompting? Let’s see how far that goes. You can refer to the documentation for the download steps Getting started .. Initial Phase - the idea I wanted to build a graphically rich game—something super simple that anyone could pick up and play, anywhere, anytime. The kind of game that keeps you going without overcomplicating things. So I decided to keep it basic and go with just HTML, CSS, and JS. Now the big question was: what exactly am I building? I eventually landed on a shooting game, kind of like Fruit Ninja but instead of slicing fruits, you'd shoot shapes. Add some cool explosions and effects, and boom
