If you think Amazon Q is cool, try building a game with it on the CLI and experience the AWSomeness!

Alright, let’s jump right in. In my previous blog, I shared the basic things you can do with Amazon Q.

In this post, I’m going one step further: I’ll be building a Flappy Bird — entirely using the Q CLI.

Remember the Flappy Bird game? well, lets try that with some new features to make my life more difficult.

Note: I had zero experience in game development before this. Everything was done through Amazon Q CLI.

Once I gave it the prompt, it immediately got to work:

It even let me test the game step by step to make sure everything was working.

P.S I suck at my own game xD

To top it off, it generated a full README.md file:

It also detailed all the game features and instructions:

Now it’s time to test it 🚀

And it works!! I died even before i start 🤣

It took Amazon Q around an hour (maybe less) to create the entire game, including all the testing.

I’ll try to improve the game over time, but for now, that’s it.
