Coded using Gemini Pro 2.5 (free version) in about 2-3 hours.

Single file including all html/js/css, Vanilla JS, no backend, scores persisted with localStorage.

Deployed using ubuntu/apache2/python/flask on a £5 Digital Ocean server (but could have been hosted on a static hosting provider as it's just a single page with no backend).

Images / metadata stored in an AWS S3 bucket.

Wow this game just proves to me how difficult your job is. I am basically getting 50%.

One or two seemed quite obvious to me as concerning or not but turned out to be the other way

It can be challenging but the large majority of skin cancers are fairly obvious and the main reason people don't spot them is because they are not checking their skin regularly and don't have any idea what to look for. Hopefully this app will help patients to learn the basic things to look for.
