The author rebuilt the classic Snake Game with Python, Pygame, and Amazon Q CLI, blending nostalgia with innovation. The game is more than just a game, it's a journey of logic, memory, and reflexes. The author wanted to rebuild the game with real-time gameplay, sound effects, pause and resume features, and auto high score tracking. Amazon Q helped with effective prompting techniques, solving classic problems, and automating tasks. The game features a clean UI, responsive controls, and a music toggle switch. The author learned that AI doesn't replace creativity, but amplifies it, and that it shines when used iteratively and conversationally. The experience showed that even retro games can be built smarter, faster, and cleaner with the right tools. The author realized that AI-enhanced development is not just faster, but more fun, bringing productivity and joy back into the process. The author is open to feedback and suggestions on what to build next, and is passionate about game development and automation.
