Are they doing this now? Oh brother! And here I was thinking WASM would be a good solution to the desktop exe signing problem for my community's roguelike. Instead browser vendors are likely just going to ban the site.

Probably related to this recent chaos. [0]

The one that Claude created was a legitimately fun game! If it implemented boids similar to o3-mini, it would be even better. Slap some sprites on it and put it on steam!

I clicked it and went, oh this is actually fun. It feels very early iPhone days mobile game.

Ha, I've been creating this on-and-off for a while. Just last night I asked various LLMs to implement a boid-with-predator algorithm and all failed hard.

Instead I spent an hour reading through a description and implementing manually and it at least worked.

But yes, boids is a good start, but it requires some work to make it more natural for mammals, who can have a 0 min speed.

Interesting experiment.

Would love to see a multiplayer version of this game!

Shepherd's Dog is a game I've wanted to create for a long time, but I never got the sheep flocking behaviour just right. The goal of the game is to herd all the sheep into the pen before nightfall. I've asked several models to create this game and I'm particularly impressed with what Claude 3.7 could do with a one-shot prompt. - You can play the Claude game here (note: doesn't work on Safari for some reason): https:/…

I just played the Claude attempt and found that the "fence" in level 3 doesn't actually obstruct either the dog or the sheep. Otherwise pretty fun.

interesting, im also using edge (with all security settings set to maximum) and it works fine for me. Maybe the difference is that I'm using it on mac?
