Description

🎯 Goal:

Create a Node.js script that prompts users to enter a secret code to unlock a hidden message.

🛠 Steps to Implement:
  1. In lessons/01-intro-to-genai/characters/, create a new file called secret-scroll.js.

  2. Add the following script:

  console.log("\n🔍 You have discovered the Lost Scroll of Alexandria! 🏺");
  console.log("To complete your journey, enter the secret code:");

  process.stdin.once("data", (data) => {
      const input = data.toString().trim();
      if (input === "ALEXANDRIA-300BC") {
          console.log("\n✨ The Scroll reveals a hidden message:");
          console.log("🚀 'JavaScript + AI = The Future!'");
          console.log("🔗 Check out this secret resource: https://aka.ms/AI-JS-Hidden-Guide\n");
      } else {
          console.log("\n❌ Incorrect code! Try again.");
      }
      process.exit();
  });
  1. The link https://aka.ms/AI-JS-Hidden-Guide must be created beforehand.

    • This guide should contain special JavaScript + AI tips, tricks, and resources.

    • Possible contents:

      Exclusive AI prompts for JavaScript developers
      Best practices for integrating LLMs in JavaScript applications
      Links to official OpenAI/Azure AI documentation
      Sample AI-powered projects in JavaScript

  2. Add the following command to package.json:

    "scripts": {
      "start": "node characters/app.js",
      "decipher-scroll": "node characters/secret-scroll.js"
    }
    
  3. Test by running:

    npm run decipher-scroll
    
  4. Ensure that entering "ALEXANDRIA-300BC" displays the secret message and directs the user to the guide.


Expected Outcome: users who discover the hidden command and enter the correct secret code unlock a special resource page filled with AI & JavaScript learning materials.

Start with lessons/01-intro-to-genai/characters/ and package.json, then run the existing project commands to understand the script layout. Add secret-scroll.js, the decipher-scroll npm command, and the requested guide link and content. Done means npm run decipher-scroll accepts the stated code and displays the hidden message and guide URL.
