Dear Sir,


Thank you for acknowledging my idea.


You are absolutely right. The "they are cheating button" will not only
serve the purpose of someone writing the text but also if someone speaking
it up in the public. I'm up for this task. Could you please help me with
some of the game repositories(python) so that I can get an edge before
submitting the final proposal?


Sincerely

Kushagra Nigam
