Recently I did something similar (or even more labor-intensive). I recreated an existing game from scratch by manually rewriting its code without even thinking about LLM/"AI" tools usage. (see my submissions).
But I agree, that using an "AI" tool may be a serious temptation and thus way less new porting projects will be done with such care.
