Funny. I had claude recreate Thrust based on wiki article alone - and it nailed it. I then spent a week trying to implement a perfect autopilot for it. And then a solveable level generator. I have this running as a screen saver in one of my apps.

I think I’ve been on both sides of this.
I feel like a lot of the success of an AI project currently still comes down to the skills of the operator. I don't think it is possible to say "AI can't create this because I told AI to create it and it failed" any more than you can say "You can't write this in Rust because I tried and failed." There is still a TON of skill involved in guiding an AI to create something, and how good it turns out has a lot to do with…

No one, ever, uses centiseconds in this context.
It's actually in the commented original disassembly and used in some of the original BBC documentation / writing. Which is how it ended up here - the article is a mix of things I wrote and things I asked an AI to write for me from the notes / findings from the archaeolgy.

Ok, that makes sense. I was commenting from a modern gamedev context.
So claude didn't understand anything, and you would have done well to read the comments instead of the llm's output summarising the comments...

I’ve had this pretty frequent experience with AI where someone says, “AI can’t do X,” then someone a little more experienced with the tools or maybe a little luckier gets some prompts together with the solution in a few hours. I think I’ve been on both sides of this.
I’m not sure why people keep thinking like that after seeing Will Smith eating pasta.
Also, not for nothing but every one of those “AI got it wrong, it’s really ___” are… training AI how to get it right.

It might not have been to the exacting taste of someone who wanted the exact BBC micro version however...
I then got it to do lunar lander, that was also perfect, and very hard to land.
