⚖️ Jolly LLM - Retro Legal Argument Simulator

Jolly LLM is a retro-styled AI courtroom simulator that generates both Prosecution and Defense arguments for any real-world legal or ethical prompt.

Built in 24 hours at the Pixel Palettes Hackathon by team Prison Breakers, the app blends pixel aesthetics, fast LLMs, and theatrical court logic into a one-of-a-kind experience.

🧠 How It Works

1. User enters a case-like prompt (e.g., "A student was caught cheating in an entrance exam").
2. The system sends it to an LLM (via Groq API using LLaMA 3).
3. The backend returns detailed arguments for both:
   • 🟥 Prosecution
   • 🟩 Defense
4. Text is animated in retro typewriter style, with glowing pixel borders and terminal UI.
