# Guess The Game With Emojis - Backend

Welcome to the backend repository for the "Guess The Game With Emojis" project. This repository contains the server-side code implemented using Java and the Spring Framework.

The backend handles game data, retrieves emoji hints, and processes user guesses.

## Project Overview

"Guess The Game With Emojis" is an interactive game where users try to guess the name of a video game based on a series of emojis that represent the game. Each game in the database has a corresponding set of emojis that give users hints about the game title.

## Features

- **Random Game Hint:** Provides a random set of emojis for a game from the database.

- **Guess Submission:** Accepts user guesses and checks if they are correct.

- **Auto-Complete:** Suggests game names as the user types their guess.

- **Database Integration:** Utilizes MySQL to store game data and emojis.

## Endpoints

- `/get-random-hint`: Returns a random game hint with emojis.

- `/submit-game`: Accepts game ID and user’s guessed game name, returns whether the guess is correct.

- `/auto-complete`: Provides a list of game names that match the user’s input.

## Future Enhancements

### 1. Hint System:

- Users will have 5 attempts to guess the game.

- Initially, only one emoji will be shown.

- For each incorrect guess, an additional emoji and a hint (e.g., Metacritic score, release year, genre) will be revealed.

### 2. Game Over Mechanism:

- The game will end after 5 incorrect guesses, indicating the user did not guess the game.

### 3. User Authentication:

- Implement user authentication to track scores and progress.

### 4. Leaderboard:

- Create a leaderboard to display top players based on their scores.
