## What it is
A browser-based 3D game that teaches Kubernetes by letting players deploy pods, fix incidents like CrashLoopBackOff, and type real kubectl commands in a simulated cluster. It also includes K8s Draw, a 3D architecture diagramming tool that exports YAML or PNG.

## Use cases
- learn kubernetes by playing a game
- practice kubectl commands without installing a cluster
- prepare for the CKA exam interactively
- train SRE incident response skills
- diagram kubernetes cluster architecture in 3D
- simulate fixing CrashLoopBackOff and cluster outages
- teach devops concepts to a team

## When to choose
- you want a zero-install, browser-based way to learn Kubernetes fundamentals
- you prefer gamified, hands-on learning over reading docs
- you need to practice incident diagnosis and kubectl in a safe sandbox
- you want to sketch and share K8s architecture diagrams quickly

## When to avoid
- you need to manage a real Kubernetes cluster or production workloads
- you need deep, production-grade K8s features beyond the 25 simulated resource types
- you require an offline desktop tool or official certification courseware
