Summary

This PR adds two new interactive tools to the repository: a terminal-based Asteroids game and a PDF report analyzer with visualization dashboard.

Key Changes

Games

  • Terminal Asteroids (terminal_asteroids.py): A playable asteroids-style game for the terminal with keyboard controls, collision detection, and scoring
  • Web Asteroids (asteroids.html): Browser-based version of the game with touch/button controls for mobile compatibility, featuring responsive canvas sizing and particle effects

PDF Report Analyzer

  • Analyzer (pdf-report-analyzer/pdf_report_analyzer.py): Lightweight Python tool that processes a directory of PDFs and extracts:

    • Keywords via TF-IDF scoring
    • Themes through co-occurrence clustering
    • Sentiment analysis using curated word lists
    • Readability scores (Flesch-scale approximation)
    • Document similarity via cosine distance
    • 2D force-directed layout for visualization
    • All results exported to a single JSON file
  • Dashboard (pdf-report-analyzer/report_dashboard.html): Interactive HTML5 visualization with:

    • Summary statistics cards
    • Distribution charts (word count, sentiment, readability)
    • Theme frequency and detail cards
    • Interactive similarity map with hover details
    • Word cloud of top terms
    • Sortable, searchable document table
    • Demo data loader for testing

Documentation

  • ASTEROIDS_README.md: Game controls and gameplay instructions
  • pdf-report-analyzer/README.md: Quick start guide, usage, and output format documentation

Configuration

  • Updated .gitignore to exclude Python cache files and compiled artifacts

Notable Implementation Details

  • No heavy dependencies: The PDF analyzer uses only PyPDF2; all NLP (tokenization, TF-IDF, sentiment, layout) is implemented from scratch to keep the tool lightweight
  • Client-side processing: The dashboard is a static HTML file that loads and visualizes JSON data entirely in the browser—no server required
  • Mobile-friendly: Both games include responsive design and touch controls
  • Designed for scale: The analyzer is optimized for ~150 participant reports of ~1000 words each

Create a fun, playable asteroids-style game for the terminal using Python and curses. Features include:
- Ship movement with rotation and thrust physics
- Asteroids that split when destroyed
- Bullet shooting mechanics
- Score tracking and level progression
- Clean terminal UI with colors

The game is fully playable with arrow keys and space bar controls.
Ignore __pycache__ and other Python-generated files to keep the repository clean.
Create a fully playable HTML5 Canvas version of the asteroids game optimized for iPad and mobile devices. Features include:
- Touch-friendly on-screen controls (rotate, thrust, shoot)
- Keyboard support for desktop play
- Responsive canvas sizing
- Particle effects and visual polish
- Lives system instead of instant game over
- Smooth 60 FPS gameplay
- Level progression with increasing difficulty

The game works in any modern browser and is perfect for iPad/mobile play.
Analyzes ~150 participant learning reports: extracts text from PDFs,
computes TF-IDF keywords, detects themes, scores sentiment and
readability, and maps document similarity. Results are visualised
in a self-contained HTML dashboard with charts, word cloud, similarity
map, and searchable table.
