How I Used Amazon Q Developer

I’ve mentioned in my GitHub the prompt I used to set up the base for the game. While it’s not exactly the same, it’s pretty much accurate. Thank you, Amazon Q!

Inspiration

I really love Welcome to the Game 2 and its mechanics by Reflect Studios. I wanted to bring the dark web vibe into my game using Linux commands, but due to time constraints, I couldn’t fully execute it. Still, I took inspiration from how the user is drawn into the dark web, adapting it with terminal-based gameplay.
