# Wikipedia Game Solver

> \[!IMPORTANT\]
> The project is abandoned and not maintained anymore.
>
> It was a proof of concept to deal with large amounts of data in databases, and have some fun dealing with Wikipedia data.
>
> The project was also a way to learn and experiment with a clean monorepo architecture, with [Turborepo](https://turbo.build/repo), and [TypeScript](https://www.typescriptlang.org/) as the main language.
>
> The project setup **can be reused as a template/boilerplate for future projects**.
