uh that code looks like claude to me

Pull Request: chore: remove node_modules I don't see much of a reason to keep a copy of node_modules on the git repository considering they can be reinstalled for deployments and it is generally bad form. sndrec (the author): Thank you for this - I'm newbie at webdev so I wasn't sure what was and wasn't needed. I'll merge this soon. Haha, almost certainly Claude

We're only 2 years away from "Claude, Make GTA VI!" /s

Looks fun but keyboard doesn't seem great for this, it feels like it needs an analog stick. Note I've never played the original.

Perf wise it seems bang on.

The GTA Vice City in browser was also really impressive, but it seems it has been taken down. How much of an advantage has AI got on decompilation projects? Complex assembly seems to be still done to some degree by hand these days (see - ffmpeg), and I wonder how big of a training set you could provide. I have wondered if it was possible to take the re3/reVC code and the assembly and use it for training data to get G…

In 2006 the iPhone was announced without an App Store and Apple’s party line was to just build/use web apps.

I was in the market looking for some fun iOS games, things that I could play casually, pick up in a moment, load quickly, and not be burdened by the ridiculousness of modern gameplay and incentive mechanics. To my surprise, it was very hard. I couldn’t find anything. This is exactly what I’m looking for.

counterpoint:

- The readme is two lines and has six words, one of which is a typo.

- Claude would never commit a node_modules folder unless coerced.

It’s disrespectful to casually call things AI-generated. I wish people would do it less unless they have 1) proof and 2) a meaningful reason for it.
