Development Notes:

Dino Runs was a passion project that helped me learn a lot about game development. Although I started with the basics from Pedro's course, I introduced several unique elements, including API-based database handling, sound effects, and custom game mechanics. This project has been an invaluable learning experience for improving my Python programming skills.
