Thanks for your time. I tried the demo, and I ask it modify the game (hitting the w button immediately proceeds to the flag) and it doesn't do it but does something else. Is that the desired outcome? I think the desired outcome would b

I was unaware that Amazon even sold single AZ S3. 20% discount. Doesn't seem worth it. By the time I commit to purchasing S3 space, it has to be important data. I get that S3 is convenient and reasonably performant, but it is not cheap
