Project Description

AI Career Simulator is a gamified web application that simulates career progression using XP, levels, and mission-based growth. Users complete track-based missions (Frontend, Backend, AI, DevOps) to earn XP, level up, and unlock increasingly complex challenges. The application uses Flask and SQLite for persistent progression and integrates GitHub Copilot assistance throughout development.

Technical Highlights

• Designed a dynamic XP and level scaling algorithm where XP requirements increase by 1.5x per level to simulate real-world career progression complexity.

• Implemented persistent user progression using SQLite, ensuring XP and levels remain stored across application restarts.

• Built a modular mission generation system that dynamically generates career-track-specific missions based on the user's current level.

• Structured backend using Flask routes and a separate XP engine for clean separation of concerns.

• Integrated GitHub Copilot responsibly to assist with route scaffolding, database schema design, and debugging while reviewing and refining all suggestions manually.

This issue is a project submission rather than a defined change request. Review the linked repository's README.md, requirements.txt, and app.py, then follow the listed setup steps to understand the Flask application; completion would require a specific, separately scoped change because the submission does not identify one.
