+# AlCu
+
+**AlCu** is a Rush project completed as part of the **42 curriculum**.
+
+The project consists of implementing a playable version of the **Nim game**, where players take turns removing objects from piles according to a defined set of rules.
+
+## 🎯 Objectives
+
+The goal was to implement the game logic while managing the underlying data structures and ensuring that the game state remained consistent throughout the execution.
+
+The project involved:
+
+* Representing and managing game piles
+* Implementing the game rules
+* Managing turns between players
+* Handling user input
+* Detecting valid and invalid moves
+* Determining the end of the game
+* Managing dynamic memory
+
+## 🧠 Skills developed
+
+* **C programming**
+* **Data structures**
+* **Linked lists**
+* **Dynamic memory allocation**
+* **Algorithmic thinking**
+* **Input validation**
+* **Game state management**
+* **Debugging**
+
+## ⏱️ Rush environment
+
+As a **42 Rush**, the project had to be completed within a limited amount of time.
+
+The challenge was to quickly understand the rules, design an appropriate data structure and implement a reliable solution while handling invalid inputs and edge cases.
+
+## 🏆 Result
+
+**Score: 100%**
+
+## 📚 What I learned
+
+AlCu strengthened my understanding of **dynamic data structures and state management in C**.
+
+It also required translating a set of game rules into a clear algorithm while keeping the implementation robust against invalid inputs and different game situations.
