Overview

GreyKnight Pattern Engine is a modular Ruby framework for building reflex-based, FizzBuzz-style games.
It allows developers to define custom themes and rules while leveraging a shared engine for timing, scoring, round progression, and input validation.

This project demonstrates:

• Modular OOP design
• Real-time input handling and event coordination
• Creative problem-solving and systems-level coding
• The ability to invent novel interactive mechanics
