This is so egotistical and carbon-centric.
This author just denied personhood to anything that isn't a human or terran-based cutesy animal.

I wanted to re-play SimTower but found it too difficult to get running through emulation. Instead, I worked for 6 months with Claude Code on a complete rewrite, replicating all the functionality from a Ghidra decompilation of the binary, an AI-generated summary of the original source code and my memory of the gameplay. Then deployed it to the web as WASM. I wanted the original feel of the game, so didn't create new art. Instead, you load an original binary you provide, and the on-page code parses it and pulls out the original assets.
I didn't look at a single line of code Claude wrote, but spent hours playing through the game and nitpicking every little behavior. A lot of time was spent convincing myself that the elevators just ARE that hard to get right >.<
I hope everyone can enjoy this game again. Did a writeup here: https://www.wyldcard.io/blog/simtower-remake-playable-in-bro...
Something going wonky on their blog, where two posts got their links swapped.
http://anystation.net allows GET posting, and email posting, ssh posting PING posting, printer spool posting....
A public message board that accepts posts in a wide wide range of protocols. If a device can communicate on the web, it can probably read and post to anystation.net.
From my point of view: a team combined all the tricks in the community into one machine and we finally created a new life form to play with!
I hadn't set it back up after moving. I gave OpenClaw ssh credentials and it updated the OS and packages, then couldn't get back in after a restart.
I plugged in keyboard and screen and it was stuck at boot, couldn't mount a drive.
I sent OpenClaw screenshots and it told me to type in journalctl commands. Then it had me modify fstab so boot could continue.
After that, OpenClaw could get back in on its own. It found the drive I'd been using had 1300 bad sectors and was going to die. It saw that another drive was perfectly healthy. It said the bad disc sectors were all early and probably just filesystem metadata and my files were probably fine. It copied 1.5Tb to the newer drive and restored everything.
I probably would have thrown the whole box out, as I hadn't used it in a year and wasn't looking for a project like that.
