This is a Python-based GUI game that helps students debug C++ code with the help of AI-powered hints using Google's Gemini API. It's designed for educational use, where users learn by asking questions rather than being shown direct solutions.

Install dependencies from the included requirements.txt file:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Ensure your Python version is 3.8+. tkinter should come pre-installed with standard Python distributions.

python codecatcher.py

The game will open as a window where:

• You'll be shown buggy C++ code
• You can ask questions or submit answers
• Gemini will guide you without giving direct fixes
• Score is tracked based on attempts

This app uses Gemini API, so an internet connection is required.

Make sure to insert your API key in the script:

GEMINI_API_KEY = 'your-api-key-here'

• codecatcher_gui.py – Main application
• requirements.txt – Python dependencies
